DC Ranch residents are accustomed to bicycle traffic throughout the community – the weather, the well maintained roads and the scenery make it a great place for cyclists. With the 11th Annual Tour de Scottsdale just days away, however, the bicycle traffic will jump to a whole new level this Sunday, October 12 and three roads will be closed for a brief period in the morning.
Note: Access to Safeway and the Market Street retail center from Pima Road is open throughout the day.
