 Message from Councilwoman Ann O'Brien

Regarding Cortez Park and I-17, we are partnering with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the Phoenix Police Department to clean, sanitize, and clear encampments located under the I-17 and Cortez Park underpass. This is to address the concerns of public safety and hygiene. Measures are also being taken to address unwanted activities and public nuisances at the ramada in Cortez Park. This initiative will enhance our community’s safety and help diminish criminal activity in this area. Last, we are retrofitting lights and cameras in Cortez Park to improve security in the area. Additionally, there will be full night shift rangers and private security personnel to further enhance safety at the park. To clarify any confusion, the Metrocenter demolition project is well underway and was started in August. They are currently focusing on the interior portions of the structure before moving to the exterior. We will keep you updated on the progress and any potential impacts on our community.
