The city of Apache Junction may review the methods with which it communicates projects to residents after unhappy homeowners filed a petition against the city for roadwork they claim destroyed the rural character of their street.
“Although we communicated in advance in writing with the neighborhood, the project has made it clear that we can and must do more,” Giao Pham, the city’s public works director, said in an e-mailed response to questions last week.
Twenty-eight citizens signed a petition that was presented to the Apache Junction City Council during its regular meeting Feb. 18. Most of them reside along North Acacia Road, where the roadwork was done, as well as neighboring East Manzanita Street, East Tepee Street to the north and East Superstition Boulevard to the south.
