What is the New River-Lower Agua Fria Multi-modal Corridor Study?
The New River-Lower Agua Fria Multi-Modal Corridor Study is a planned 42-mile non-motorized system of urban and rural trails along the New River and Lower Agua Fria River. Designed with the pedestrian, hiker, bicyclist and equestrian in mind, this project offers a unique opportunity to create travel routes to and from homes, businesses, schools and recreation destinations. This study is sponsored by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) with funding through the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the Transportation Equity Act 21st Century (TEA-21) Transportation Enhancement Program. The Corridor stretches southwest from the community of New River to the convergence of the Lower Agua Fria with the Gila River. Several jurisdictions within Maricopa County are connected by the Corridor including Avondale, Glendale, Goodyear, Peoria, Phoenix, and the community of New River. The design of the trailway emphasizes maintaining the rich diversity of plant and animal habitats,
