Official City Notices for Thursday, January 29, 2026

Today in Phoenix, municipal and county officials have scheduled several critical public hearings and safety advisories. Residents are encouraged to stay informed regarding community development plans, health updates, and ongoing infrastructure improvements affecting local travel throughout the Valley.

Public Hearings and Community Planning

Maricopa County will host a significant public meeting today regarding the "Framework 2040 Comprehensive Plan Draft." This session, scheduled from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, marks the beginning of a 60-day review period. This roadmap will guide county-level decision-making on future growth, transportation systems, and water resources through the year 2040. Public feedback is vital as the county updates its development strategies to align with long-term community values.

  • Zoning Adjustment Hearing: A public hearing is scheduled for 9:00 AM today to review site plans and property adjustments for various residential and commercial developments.
  • Small Business Enterprise Oversight Committee: This committee will convene at 9:00 AM to discuss oversight and support programs for local entrepreneurs.

Active Health Advisory: Measles Monitoring

The Maricopa County Department of Public Health continues to monitor potential measles exposures identified earlier this month. Health officials have confirmed community transmission and advise residents who visited high-traffic locations in Gilbert and Mesa to watch for symptoms. Specifically, individuals who were at the Hale Theatre Arizona on early January dates should monitor their health through tomorrow, January 30, 2026. Symptoms include high fever, cough, and a red, blotchy rash. If symptoms appear, residents are urged to contact their healthcare provider by phone before arriving at a clinic to prevent further spread.

Transit and Public Safety Initiatives

Following a recent City Council vote, officials have pivoted the strategy for the Capitol Extension (CAPEX) light rail project. The city will now prioritize high-capacity transit options for West Phoenix along the Indian School Road corridor. Additionally, the Phoenix Police Department has announced the upcoming deployment of 17 new photo safety cameras starting next month. These units are designed to reduce serious and fatal injuries, with several dedicated specifically to 15-mph school zones on a rotating basis.

Street Restrictions and Closures

Motorists should anticipate delays due to several active road projects. Notable restrictions for Thursday, January 29, include:

  • 107th Avenue: Lane restrictions are in place between Indian School Road and Calle Del Sol, with work scheduled to conclude by the end of the day.
  • 101st Avenue: Maintenance continues between Camelback Road and Missouri Avenue through January 30.
  • 107th Avenue (Northbound): Long-term restrictions remain active between Miami Avenue and Albeniz Place as part of ongoing infrastructure upgrades.

As January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month, city and state leaders remind the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity to the dedicated tip lines or local law enforcement to support survivors and prevention efforts.
