The asphalt path is part of the Town of Marana’s multi-modal transportation plan, allowing bicyclists and pedestrians to enjoy the river’s habitat and scenery. The path is sensitively positioned along the Santa Cruz River’s scenic corridor to preserve the natural environment for wildlife. Trees, shrubs, and accent plants were selected to complement the river environment and blend in seamlessly with native vegetation, while also providing a shaded respite for joggers, walkers, bicyclists, and equestrian riders. EPS Group worked closely with the Town of Marana to establish a viable landscape and irrigation plan for the path extension that stayed within the established project budget.
