The Town of Queen Creek is moving forward with the acquisition of a right-of-way parcel located at the intersection of Rittenhouse and Cloud roads. The property is currently owned by QuikTrip, and the town will pay more than $111,000 for the land.
This purchase concludes a seven-year effort to secure the necessary space for the Rittenhouse Road from 213th Street Alignment to Riggs Road Project. Town officials have sought to buy the property from the convenience store chain since 2019.
The land is a required component of the broader road improvement initiative. By acquiring this specific parcel, the town can proceed with the planned alignment changes along Rittenhouse Road.
The transaction marks the final step in the town's attempt to resolve the land ownership issue that has persisted since the project's inception. No further details regarding the timeline for construction or additional funding were provided in the report.
