Sun City West residents will want to set aside Jan. 15 for two important meetings that will be held in the Palm Ridge Summit Hall.
- RCSCW Mid-Year Meeting at 9 a.m.
- MAG US60 (Grand Avenue) – Loop 303 to SR74 Corridor Study presentation from noon to 1 p.m.
The Association’s Mid-Year Meeting begins at 9 a.m., followed at noon by a presentation from the Maricopa Association of Governments on the US 60 (Grand Avenue) – Loop 303 to SR 74 Corridor Study. The Rec Centers is not involved in the MAG study, but as a community service for our members, we have asked MAG to present their information.
The Association will update members on this year’s projects, including those outlined in the Strategic Plan. General Manager Stephen Erno and his management team will present and answer questions as we are halfway through our fiscal year. There will be plenty of time for questions.
From noon to 1 p.m., Project Manager Brad Williams will discuss the MAG study, which is expected to wrap up in early 2026. The study aims to conduct a comprehensive assessment of both current and future travel demands within the study area, and to identify a series of transportation investments that will accommodate future demand along the US 60 corridor through 2050.

The MAG study area spans multiple jurisdictions, including Maricopa County and the cities of Surprise and Peoria. By 2050, the area’s population is projected to reach 242,620 people – 6.5 times the 2020 population.

This ties in with the BNSF inter model facility proposed near Whitmann
Has anyone requested a study of Traffic volume increasing through Sun City West at the RH Johnson/US 60 & Meeker /US 60 intersections also at Bell Road entering at RH Johnson? We live on W. Whispering Oaks Drive and have seen a major increase in traffic volume- Both Directions- by those people using Whispering Oaks as a bypass road. Every single day we see higher volumes and most of them are speeding 40-50-60 miles per hour. Again in both directions.
Especially in the 6:00 AM-8:00 AM and 4:30 PM-6:30 PM times.
The speeders on RH Johnson are also a daily event.
The signs entering SCW mentioning “Radar” are ignored because there are Never any Radar MSCO cars in place.
