Today, we pause to remember those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, and honor the first responders and everyday people who stepped forward to help in the moments that followed. 🇺🇸❤️

Twenty-five years later, the stories and artifacts from that day continue to connect us to the people behind the history.

Throughout September, Scottsdale is displaying memorial exhibits at five locations across the city. Each features a piece of history connected to Sept. 11, along with photographs and information honoring those who lost their lives.

The exhibits include:

📍 Civic Center Library | World Trade Center towers
📍 Mustang Library | Public Safety Memorial Flag
📍 Arabian Library | Pentagon
📍 Appaloosa Library | Airplane wing
📍 Scottsdale Police and Fire Headquarters | World Trade Center steel and other memorial pieces

Visit all five exhibit locations to see the collection and receive a special commemorative gift.

The exhibits offer an opportunity to learn, reflect and remember, while recognizing the courage and service of those who responded that day.

Placement matters when it comes to brush and bulk.

Help us keep collection running safely and smoothly by placing brush and bulk piles in open, unobstructed locations.

❎ Do not place piles on or within four feet of:

- Water meters

- Cable or electrical boxes

- Fire hydrants

- City-owned containers or bins

- Block walls

- Other fixed objects

Also avoid placing material over landscape lighting or irrigation systems, which can be damaged by collection equipment.

Scottsdale recently welcomed government and environmental officials from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan and Morocco for a day of discussion and knowledge-sharing focused on water, economic development and climate challenges.

Hosted by Scottsdale Water and the city’s Economic Development Department, the delegation visited the Water Campus to learn about Scottsdale’s approach to long-term water planning, conservation, reuse and infrastructure.

While our communities may be thousands of miles apart, we share many of the same challenges. Opportunities like this allow us to share ideas, learn from one another and build partnerships for the future. 🌎💧

Ever wondered what that liquid coating on Scottsdale roads is? 👀

It’s Liquid Road, a high-performance asphalt treatment that helps protect pavement from UV rays and moisture, two major causes of pavement deterioration.

The treatment helps extend the life of Scottsdale’s roads, provides a smooth driving surface and can delay more extensive repairs. Liquid Road typically dries within four to six hours, depending on weather conditions.

Want to know if your street is scheduled for pavement preservation? 🛣️

Check out Scottsdale’s interactive Pavement Preservation Map to see current projects and a 10-year look-ahead at planned pavement treatments: https://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/transportation/pavement-preservation-program
