The State Street Corridor has been studied for several years. ACHD and partnering agencies/jurisdictions have evaluated deficiencies along State Street, developed guidelines encouraging transit-supportive land uses, and identified prioritized transit and traffic improvements. The State Street Transit and Traffic Operation Plan served as the basis for the State Street and Pierce Park intersection improvements. In 2017, the ACHD Commission adopted the State Street and Pierce Park Lane Concept Study. ACHD finalized the design in 2019. In 2020, the ACHD Commission voted to delay the project and work on a redesign to shift the project north. In 2021, the project was restarted to incorporate the northern shift.
