Scottsdale Progress presents mayoral and council candidate replies to eight city issues. Leaders discuss road projects, growth, governance, police, garbage, recreation, and North Scottsdale development with emphasis on cooperation among city government, the school board, and developers.
Residents present plans for orderly growth and 24 hour city services including sewer and water. They urge limiting high rises, expanding Hayden Road, bridges at Chaparral and 70th Street, and widening Pima Road while boosting traffic signals and open space. They call for closer Indian Reservation cooperation and density limits to protect ecology and livability.
Bud Tims outlines support for updates to Scottsdale's Master Plan emphasizing orderly growth and quality environment. He endorses limited high rises, continued public improvements by builders, and cooperation with the Salt River Indian Reservation. He cites density changes near the airport and aims to align zoning with arterial planning and housing needs.
Dick Campana outlines a plan to manage explosive growth through citizen involvement and a revised Master Plan with zoning enforcement. He opposes high rises beyond 60 feet at the Scottsdale Hospital parcel and supports lower densities, arterial improvements, and state enabling legislation for comprehensive zoning powers.
Monroe Dingott outlines measures to open arteries and condemn parcels for rights of way to ease traffic and fund city services and schools. He opposes high rises in Scottsdale, supports a 10 year forecast based on 92nd St and Shea Blvd, and calls for rezoning reforms and extending Hayden Road to Shea Blvd.
Residents voice support for a coordinated traffic master plan and lower densities while opposing 60 foot high rises and unchecked growth. They urge phased zoning, enhanced transit, and orderly development with public scrutiny and neighbor collaboration.
Residents urge Scottsdale to curb high rise density and safeguard services. They call for studies before new construction, better traffic management, stronger master plan adherence, and collaboration with Salt River Indian Reservation authorities to avoid traffic chaos. They warn against devaluing north Scottsdale property with indiscriminate density and seek buffers to preserve open spaces.
The proposal calls for updating the master plan and design criteria to guide growth over the next twenty years. It emphasizes planning for future streets flood control parks and municipal land needs to raise overall planning efficiency.
A list of eight questions to candidates covering key issues. Topics include two-year council challenges, high-rise policy, traffic solutions, zoning adequacy and changes, growth policy, municipal services, Salt River Indian Reservation development, and density targets for North Scottsdale undeveloped land.
A letter urges the Scottsdale council to oppose growth for growths sake, stop high rises, resist freeway routes, oppose new industries, and keep population density low via zoning while praising services and preserving the eastern Reservation barrier to urban sprawl.
The author urges immediate action to open North South arterials and new parking concepts to ease traffic. They question high rise growth for Scottsdale now, foresee later needs, and support a public referendum. Proposals include Hayden Road and Pima widening, possible 64th Street use, and professional traffic analysis.
