Tusayan wants to make crossing Highway 64 safer. That’s why it applied for and got a $185,00 grant from the Arizona Department of Transportation.

According to a report from Interim Town Manager Greg Clifton, the town will only have to come up with $10,000 in matching funds. Next steps will involve getting plans to ADOT for approval. Construction could start next year.

Mayor Vail hopes the project includes re-striping for the existing north crosswalk.
