Medlock Place Historic District
Click for Phoenix, Arizona Forecast
 
 
An historic neighborhood in Phoenix' North Central Corridor, Medlock Place is the Valley of the Sun's original suburban residential development. First opened to the public in 1926, Medlock Place was then 4 miles north of the edge of town. Today, many of the Medlock Place Historic District single family homes still reflect what Floyd Medlock, the area's first developer, billed as living amidst "city conveniences with country delights."

New Entry Signs On 7th Avenue Are Less Restrictive

The no entry signs on 7th Avenue at the east-bound entries of west Colter, Oregon, Georgia and Vermont are a thing of the past. They have been replaced by signs directing that there be no left turns into neighborhood streets between the weekday morning hours of 6 and 9 (shown above).

The new traffic signs mark a return to less restrictive neighborhood access after two years of the more restrictive signs. A neighborhood petition drive garnerd the required number of signatures to make the change.
