The ongoing construction at Estrella Mountain Regional Park for Maricopa County Parks stands as a prime example of EPS Group's commitment to enhancing community recreational spaces. This significant project is transforming a 20-acre site within the park, soon to offer over 50 new RV campsites, designed to accommodate a growing number of visitors seeking outdoor experiences. Beyond the new campsites, the initiative includes comprehensive improvements to the park's infrastructure, encompassing new roadways for better access and upgraded utilities to support the expanded facilities. Furthermore, visitors can look forward to exciting new amenities, such as a dedicated dog park, providing even more diverse recreational opportunities. All these enhancements are meticulously designed to significantly elevate the park's overall presence and fulfill its core purpose of providing high-quality, accessible recreational spaces for everyone in the community to enjoy.

EPS Group designed the 5-mile ADOT/MCDOT roadway project to significantly improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists by adding new lanes and sidewalks, ensuring a smoother experience for all travelers. Construction began in February 2024, focusing on median work, curbing, paving, drainage, and utility relocation. Key improvements include lengthening or adding new turn bays at Main Street/Apache Trail median crossovers, while some were removed to enhance traffic flow and safety. The 88th Street median crossover is currently closed for improvements but will reopen.

EPS Group was selected by ADOT to prepare a Design Concept Report (DCR) for the critical SR 347 grade separation over UPRR tracks, a project vital for improving Maricopa's access and mobility due to frequent train delays. Following the DCR, EPS Group completed the project's Final Design, a MAG region initiative jointly funded by FHWA (TIGER grant), ADOT, and the City of Maricopa. This complex undertaking involved relocating numerous utilities, reconfiguring roadways, and extensive public outreach to ensure community support. Despite an initial 24-month timeline, EPS Group successfully completed the MAG Value Engineering Analysis, project plans, specifications, 52 property acquisitions, and utility relocations within an accelerated 15-month timeframe to secure the federal TIGER grant.
