Inner Loop debate on I-10 in Phoenix advances
State Transportation Board weighs abandoning the inner loop of I 10 through Phoenix amid protests by G G George and Sen James Walsh who say the $400 million project would raze 880 more homes and cost taxpayers far more than a $100 million Durango Street route. Proponents say the loop would ease congestion and restore Midtown area vitality, with a board decision due by November. In other action the board approved $18 million in road contracts including Tucson I-19 work, I 40 paving near Seligman, Inn Road rebuild north of Tucson, and US 60 resurfacing near Apache Junction and Florence Junction.
