As of the 2020 City Council retreat, Council has requested that neighborhood connections be reevaluated with the primary focus on neighborhoods with single points of ingress and egress. This reevaluation has been on hold until Public Works has available staff time to pursue this effort.

The following question was included in the FY24 citizen budget survey: The need for more neighborhood street connections is included in the City of Sedona's Transportation Master Plan and is also included in the emergency evacuation planning efforts. In the past, this initiative has been put on pause but with current concerns for increased safety and for resident convenience, the City would like to revisit resident interest. Do you support additional street connections in your neighborhood?

The survey question resulted in over 2/3 of respondents expressing opposition to the development of new vehicular connections. Yes 31.2% No 68.8% 

The strategy focuses on making small, local-traffic, residential street connections in logical locations, adding walking and bike pathways as neighborhood amenities. The purpose is to allow residents to avoid entering SR89A when possible, and provide pedestrian and bicycle connections to make it easier to get to shopping, services, and city parks without necessarily having to drive.

Neighborhood connectors would remain small, local-traffic streets. The Transportation Master Plan identifies seven possible connection areas.
