• Transportation is now a Queen Creek town department (eastvalleytribune.com) — Queen Creek has spun transportation into its own town department to tackle growing traffic, manage 900-plus lane miles, and oversee more than 90 signals. With a new 25-year Transportation Master Plan, $71.1 million budgeted this year, and a safety action plan underway, town leaders say every trip in Queen Creek will guide future road and safety improvements.
