CE EPH Q-258
In the fall of 1966, ASU architecture students under the direction of Professor
James Elmore designed a plan that combined flood control with environmental
design to convert the Salt River into a valuable asset to the Phoenix
metropolitan area. The Rio Salado Project, as it was named, extended over
thirty-eight miles from Granite Reef Dam to the Gila River. "Tempe Rio Salado" is a plan for converting several miles of dry river bed into an urban park,
extending from 48th Street to Price Road, along the Salt River.
