Accessibility and proximity to I-8
The Yuma County Area Transit has several bus stops along the neighborhood. The city is also gathering input for plans to improve accessibility, an issue of importance for Mesa Heights’ disabled population. “We want ramps and elevators and we need people to be able to get into stores and navigate through life. I think it’s a very progressive thing for a small town to be doing,” says Pamela Clark, who runs a mobility scooter business in Mesa Heights.
Mesa Heights is about a mile off Interstate 8 and 3 miles from Yuma’s historic downtown. Two miles south is the Yuma International Airport, which is also home to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma.
