Through the Planning Assistance for Rural Areas (PARA) program, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), the city of Kingman and the Western Arizona Council of Governments (WACOG) are cooperatively conducting the Stockton Hill Road Corridor Study to identify needs and improvements to address the critical transportation needs along the 2.8-mile section of Stockton Hill Road between Detroit and Northern avenues.
Stockton Hill Road has become the centralized hub for big box commercial, retail, grocery and medical facilities within the region. The type of existing businesses and those planned along the corridor generate tremendous traffic volume. This study is working to develop the traffic, access and development needs for the users of the corridor. The traffic focus includes an in-depth analysis of the intersection volumes and congestion along the corridor.

This study, and the resulting transportation plan, is funded through ADOT’s Planning Assistance for Rural Areas (PARA) program. ADOT and the Town of Colorado City have retained the consultant team of Wilbur Smith Associates to conduct the study under the oversight and direction of a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) that includes members from the Town of Colorado City; adjacent Hildale City, Utah; Mohave County; the Arizona Department of Transportation Multimodal Planning Division; the ADOT Flagstaff District Engineer’s office; and other interested parties.
The Study identifies a plan of improvements for transit and non-motorized transportation and outlines the specific actions necessary to implement and sustain the plan. The Study identifies projects that establish and improve the pedestrian and transit options for Community members. The development of these suggested projects includes consideration of evaluation criteria addressing such issues as safety and connection of multi-modal transportation modes throughout the Community and to the greater region.
