Application: Fire Lane

City: Phoenix

State/Province: Arizona

Install Date: September, November 1996

Install Size: 700 m2 (7535 sq ft)

Address: 4411 Chandler Blvd., Phoenix (Tempe), AZ  85044

Client: Legacy

Designer: NA

Contractor: Irriscape, 20182 Carancho Road, Temecula, CA 92590

Directions: South of Hwy 60 to Chandler Blvd. (can’t remember the exit, but Alma School will probably get you close)

Location: The roads loop around the complex so look for fire lane vertical signage in five different locations. All five are near interior sidewalks and the mountable curbs are painted red.

Summary: This is a nice mature site that has been well maintained. Grasspave2 fire lanes allow designers to create a pedestrian mall appearance within a multi-residence complex and also provide for fire truck access over the lawn areas. Having grass for fire lanes reduces urban heat and that is really important in warm climates.
