5.9 Santa Cruz River in the Vicinity of Continental Ranch
Location: Santa Cruz River, Yuma Mine Wash to EI Rio Neighborhood Park
Scope: The Town of Marana is developing plans for bank protection on the west bank of this
segment of the Santa Cruz River between the Yuma Mine Wash and Cortaro Road as part of
the development of a regional park that was authorized in Pima County's 1997 General
Obligation Bond election. The project includes the construction of a soil cement underpass at
Cortaro Road. The County is providing bond funding and flood control funds for the park and
bank protection, respectively. The Town of Marana is securing all rights-of-way for the park
elements of this project, and the County flood control district is securing all rights-of-way for the
bank protection.
The Town of Marana is also working with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to
construct a paved pathway following the eastern boundary of the Continental Ranch community
along the western top of bank and low flow bank of the Santa Cruz River beginning at the Yuma
Mine Wash, south of Cortaro Road, and ending north of the proposed Cortaro Mesquite Bosque
project, at EI Rio Neighborhood Park, a total of approximately 4.1 miles. ADOT will provide
$998,000 of the total estimated project cost of $2,400,000 for the Marana Shared Use Path
Project. Plans for the northern 2.7 miles of the path are complete and construction is nearing
completion. The Town is continuing to develop the southern 1.4 miles of the project. The
project includes paving of the underpass ramp at Cortaro Road, landscaping and irrigation along
the pathways, two pedestrian bridges, and three informational kiosks.
This proposal includes the construction costs for the bank protection, the cost of developing a
landscaped linear park and shared use path alongside the bank protection that would connect
with the existing Marana Shared Use Path at the EI Rio Neighborhood Park. The project will
also include two parking nodes with ramadas.
Benefits: This project will benefit the Town of Marana and the Continental Ranch community
as it will further protect the existing Cortaro Road Bridge, the commercial development, the
proposed Rattlesnake park and the Wheeler Taft Abbett Library south of the bridge from flood
and erosion damage. The project will also provide continuation of the Juan Bautista de Anza
National Historic Trail, the Pima County linear river park and trail systems, and provides
alternative modes of transportation along the Santa Cruz River.
Cost: $6,020,000 with Construction Administration being $250,000 Construction being
$5,100,000, Design being $500,000 and Public Art being $170,000.
Bond Funding: $4,000,000
Other Funding: State, Marana and County flood control district funding to supplement bond
funds.
Project Duration: Bank Protection: Design Completion at 3 to 6 months and Construction at 6
to 9 months.
Implementation Period: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Project Management: The Town of Marana will manage design and construction, pursuant to
an intergovernmental agreement between the Flood Control District and the Town.
Future Operating and Maintenance Costs: Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and
Recreation, with annual maintenance costs of $72,250 per mile when completed.
