Intersection Improvements for Lake Pleasant Parkway and

Currently there is one left turn lane; with the new
changes an additional turn lane will be added. This

New Hiking Trails Website
Unveiled
Visit the new website, complete with maps,
directions, a slide show, parking information, and
difficulty level. Take some time this weekend to enjoy the
trails at Sunrise, West Wing and East Wing mountains!
When in West Wing, please remember:
- Park in the lot at West
Wing Elementary School
- Begin your hike next to
the Community Center for the Sunrise Mountain trail and
at the intersection
of Higuera Drive and High Desert Drive for the West Wing
Mountain trail.
- Be a good neighbor-
respect the privacy of residents who live along the
mountain and own property near the trails.
If we all practice the
Golden Rule, hikers may take pleasure in the trails and
residents can continue to enjoy their peaceful views!
Thank you for your cooperation. To view

New Fire
Station Receives Two Design Awards
Fire Chief Magazine honored Station 7,
located at 7758 W Jomax Road, in their November 2007 issue with
a Gold Award for station design and featured us
on their cover! Additionally, Fire Industry
Equipment and Research Organization (FIERO) honored Peoria
Fire Station 7 with a top merit award for design. Each
station portfolio was judged on form, function, location,
and resources available to meet the needs and unique
challenges facing fire departments and their communities.
The fire station opened for service to the citizens of
Peoria on August 18, 2007, and was dedicated by the Mayor
and Council on October 12, 2007. Peoria Fire Station 7 was
positioned in northern Peoria to lower emergency response
times in that area.
