Dumping more money into highways in our relatively uncongested city is a waste of scarce resources.

Loop 202 also promotes more sprawl, which further stresses the environmental and financial condition of our city.

Loop 202 also threatens Laveen's agricultural land uses and character.

Loop 202 also threatens South Mountain.

This 17-mile extension of Loop 202 is estimated to cost $2.6 billion. That's $153 million/mile. Imagine if all that money went to other projects instead:
~That could build both the Metro light rail's West Extension -AND- its South Central Extension.
~That could build *protected* bike lanes on EVERY street in Phoenix. (Note that Phoenix is 520 square miles!)
~That could buy a steak from Durants for every Phoenician, every week for a year.

So just say no to more highways, and say yes to better uses for that money.
