Proposed BRT Impacts on Van Buren & 35th Ave Corridors

The City of Phoenix is advancing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) along the 35th Avenue / Van Buren Street corridor. Early materials showed milder side-running concepts, but plans favor center-running designs with dedicated lanes.

Van Buren Street Corridor

Center-running could remove parking, disrupt businesses, and alter traffic flow on this vital east-west route.

35th Avenue Corridor

Combined with Van Buren, 35th Ave faces construction disruptions, parking loss, and access issues for businesses relying on it.

Critical Unanswered Questions & Delivery Impacts

  • Many questions have gone unanswered by the BRT Team and Council despite repeated inquiries.
  • Large deliveries & truck access: Center-running BRT would eliminate or restrict the center turning lane currently used by tractor-trailers for deliveries. Many businesses have limited or sole access via 35th Ave and Van Buren – how will they receive essential large shipments?
  • Incomplete plans: Drawings and visuals only show impacts at major intersections. There is no detailed information or renderings of what the full corridor will look like under center-running vs. side-running setups for the majority of the route.

These gaps leave businesses, residents, and property owners in the dark about daily operations and long-term viability.

Shared Concerns: Parking loss, congestion, economic harm, and insufficient alternatives analysis.
