QUESTIONS TO THE TOWN

I've noticed the signs that say a new traffic signal is coming to the intersection of Sossaman and Chandler Heights roads. When will this happen?

 A new traffic signal for this intersection is currently being designed. Once the design has been completed, the Town will order the new traffic signal equipment and work with a contractor to begin the installation. It is anticipated the new traffic signal will be completed and operational in late November or early December, 2012.

There have been an awful lot of mosquitos in Queen Creek lately. What is the Town doing about it, and have there been any cases of West Nile Virus reported in our area? 

Mosquito

The heat, coupled with monsoon rains have provided ideal mosquito breeding conditions over the past few weeks. Maricopa County is responsible for mosquito control in our area, and they do offer an online complaint form to report mosquito issues.

The Town, along with the Chamber of Commerce, would like to add to the successful “Shop Queen Creek” program by registering additional local businesses!

The Shop Queen Creek program is designed to encourage and educate residents to make their purchases within Queen Creek. Supporting local businesses strengthens our economic base, encourages entrepreneurship and keeps sales tax dollars in the community in which we live and do business. These tax dollars are critical in funding parks and recreation, neighborhood preservation, public safety, street maintenance and community outreach.

To become a member, visit QueenCreek.org and complete the registration form.
