YPMO was selected by the City of Glendale to provide PIO services for the 67th Avenue Road Improvements project. 67th Avenue was reconstructed from Greenway Road to Bell Road. Work included asphalt milling and new pavement overlay, the narrowing of median islands, adding bike lanes, and replacing some hardscape sections. New signage and signal detection was also installed on 67th Avenue at the intersection of Greenway Rd. and of Paradise Ln. The last phase of the project required a full intersection closure at 67th Avenue and Bell Road to complete milling and paving.

YPMO prepared a postcard mailer and mailed to over 1,600 business and residential properties in the project area. YPMO staff also conducted in-person outreach to 88 area stakeholders, including 85 businesses, two schools, and one apartment community, prior to the project starting. The team gathered manager and business owners’ contact information for future electronic updates.

The 67th Avenue/Bell Road intersection closure occurred on the weekend of May 2, 2025. This date was determined through coordination with local business owners and their needs. For example, a local flower shop near the intersection, requested that the intersection closure not happen over Mother’s Day weekend, which is one of the shop’s busiest days. Having communication with businesses early on helped the team mitigate unnecessary additional inconvenience.

YPMO was responsible for the weekly progress meetings and recording of meeting minutes, which were then uploaded to an online master sheet created by the city accessible documents for the team every week. YPMO also played a role in informing stakeholders of any night-work required by the contractor. This was accomplished by producing door hangers and conducting in-person outreach before the scheduled night-work.

The project was completed in June 2025.
