The article above makes reference to how much the Valley has grown and no doubt we need better access and traffic flow connecting Chandler and the east valley cities with the west valley cities. This has been controversial for so long and I'm sure the debate will continue. Some questions that come to mind:
1. What is this going to mean for home owners & home values in both Ahwatukee and Laveen?
2. 2017 is the projected date for completion - traffic and construction nightmares will continue along the route for years to come.
3. While the costs are prohibitive I can't quite understand why they're not looking ahead and building the infrastructure that will also connect the loop 202 to the loop 101 past Tolleson so as to create a wider loop that connects the SW cities of Avondale, Goodyear and Glendale etc.
stay tuned...
