Please rank the following in order of importance to you. (1= highest ranking [most important], 5=lowest ranking [least important]). Relieve local congestion, improve travel time and 134 reliability (reduce how long a trip will take or ensure 67 certainty of travel time) 61 46 173 Relieve regional congestion, improve travel time and 139 reliability (between Southern and Northwestern Arizona) 75 68 41 158 Improve freight travel and reliability, reducing 125 bottlenecks on existing highways 72 72 50 158 Improve local access to communities and resources 73 (parks, recreation, and tourism) 56 98 73 173 Need for a different transportation mode than what 149 exists today 53 49 49 172 Support homeland security and national defense needs 73 34 81 58 226 0 50 100 150 200 250 1 (most important) 2 3 4 5 (least important) Other desirable outcomes (open-ended response): [responses not edited for spelling, grammar, or capitalization] Freeze construction of new homes until the current commuting demands are addressed and solved. Minimal disruption of the desert environment especially in the area of the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum and the Saguaro National Park.. Protecting what is left of the southern Arizona natural world. The area is already heavily fragmented by the CAP and freeways so I would propose an improved train system or double decking on I-10. Movement of Good Can't think of anything desirable about I-11...not needed protecting wildlife linkages, air quality and protected lands commuter rail in existing transportation corridor I-11 Survey Monkey Summary of Public Scoping Responses Page 1 Page F-306 Establish passenger rail along I-10. Don't build I-11. Are the above things really what I-11 is all about, seriously??? Potentially saving money by taking this alternative route. The Interstate 10 corridor (especially between Phoenix and Tucson) is very congested and often dangerous (particularly in the areas where the freeway has two lanes in each direction). Rather than creating a new freeway(s), I urge ADOT to finish its upgrades on State Route 85 and perhaps add lanes to I-8 and I-10 while improving rail capacity for freight and passenger service (a new freeway is not desirable for this region). Focus on improving existing highways while encouraging passenger (Phoenix-Nogales) and freight rail along this corridor. THE LAST ITEM ALONE SHOULD NEGATE THE I-11 PLAN. Do not build this interstate highway. There is no need for another highway in our region. There is not one desirable outcome to this project Please look at no-corridor option. Improve existing transportation facilities only for all modes. It needs to allow for improved economy Preserve vital habitat and threatened wildlife, ensure Tucson and Southern AZ is connected rather than be bypassed ALTERNATIVE ROUTE FOR ACCIDENTS/WILDFIRES Protection of wildlife corridors, national monuments, migration corridors, and habitate conservation plans There MUST BE NO I-11 Expand existing I-10 and I-19 as needed. rail, rail, rail!! The existing maps don't show clearly the existing roads and highways in each section. Maps don't show small areas of important economic value for the region like Old Tucson Studios and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum either. Do not build a highway just to benefit commerce at the expense of residents and the environment. no more highways commuter trains not to impact migratory route for animals along the southern border Buenos Aires game reserve , Ironwood National Park and Saguaro Nat. Park west. desert bighorn sheep have recently been seen in the Tucson mt. range , crossing from the Silverbell mt. range. Improve I-19 up from nogales, keep trucks in the middle lanes only especially through town. then improve I-10 past picacho especially. this area of 1-10 has major dust storms up through Casa Grande and into Phoenix , these dust storms be worse if you dig up another highway along that same corridor. it's already very dusy and visibility drastically reduced. pretty dangerous highway driving. Widening I-19 use and repair what you have stay away from wildlife refuges and national parks and forests. Protect our southern AZ desert Avoid impact on current environment Railway OPEN SPACE, MINIMAL HIGHWAY INTRUSION, DARK SKIES, QUIET ENVIRONMENT, NOT INTERSECTING CASA GRANDE WITH YET ANOTHER FREEWAY I-11 Survey Monkey Summary of Public Scoping Responses Page 2 Page F-307 East, West freeways on west side of valley far more important than this freeway. Avoid subsidizing sprawl development & maintain or improve travel time to PHX Sky Harbor Expand transit and rail options rather than create a new freeway i-11 should avoid saguaro national park & the San Pedro valley avoid environmental damage creating a corridor between Wickenburg and Nogales to better important illegals does not support security or defense. PROTECT Nat. PARKS & Monuments (GREEN areas) Leave the Desert alone, there are enough roads already. Do not build it. PRESERVE AND PROTECT THE WILDLIFE AND ENVIRONMENT none, I do not believe I-11 should be built protect the natural environment (animals, plants, air, water, etc.), Stay home! No desirable outcomes. Find a way to widen I-10, even if it takes more time. Why should the people of Southern Arizona be inconvenienced so that Phoenix can have a by-pass? If you're going to build by-passes; build us one, too! I cry B.S.!!! Put in rail. Don't be so retrograde. This is the ideal place for rail. Straight shot from Tucson to Vegas. At 300 miles per hour! Bullet Train. Don't build it!!! It will destroy pristine land and communitiies and it replicates extising routes. This is a "make-money" project for agencies and contractors, it si unnecessary and disregards the borader needs of Southern Arizona's citizens. DON'T BUILD IT!!!!!!!! I oppose the bypass due to environmental impacts I 11 is not necessary Protect sensitive environments and wildlife corridors Avoid ruining sensitive areas I 11 Freeway is a HORRIBLE idea. Do not do it. Improve existing roadways rather than building new ones Wildlife corridor stays intact! improve Phoenix metro bypass options Don't build I-11 I see no need for a new interstate. Do not take anymore land from wildlife! We must learn to protect all wildlife from homospiens! There are no desirable outcomes of building another freeway no new interstate Expand mass transit both locally and regionally. Enough with more freeways. It will not help our region for most Arizonans. The way this question is worded assumes that there are problems the I-11 Corridor will address. This biased approach to collecting public input makes the outcome of your process completely unreliable and in violation of the intent of public scoping. I do not understand your desire to fill in little dots. I just want to comment. You are making a mistake , an expensive one. Why not just widen I-19 to accomodate the needs. Please I-11 Survey Monkey Summary of Public Scoping Responses Page 3 Page F-308 do not tear our community apart and ruin our little art community that we love so much. How could you do that to us? This project is a ridiculous, unnecessary, complete waste of tax dollars. Sustainable transportation infrastructure that does not fragment the landscape further. Any new corridors should take into account wildlife habitat movement. relieve traffic on Highway 93 Provide increased economic development for the region, encourage movement of manufacturing and other businesses, and jobs, to the region supported by increased capacity for future freight and travel throughout the State IF nuclear waste/Tar Sands oil is to be transported, then safety is top priority... preserve natural ecosystems and air we breathe Not cut through exsisting homes, ranches, or farms near the Tubac area. There is none. We already have i8 to get to west state. The best outcome would be for it to not happen First on the list is FIX THE INTERSTATE BETWEEN PHOENIX AND TUCSON makes me sick to see a 2 lane to 3 lane than back to a 2 lane from both directions !!! needless to say no one moves to the right so bottles neck because you have someone going about 60 on the fast lane were there is a two lane !!! Another option for the I-10 traffic around Phoenix environmental impact reduced None None No interstate 11. We live where we do to avoid the business of town. Please consider wildlife!!! (animals, plants, tortoises, reptiles, birds, etc.) No interstate 11 built in my backyard. Your questions assume that there are problems that need to be solved by constructing a new road in this corridor. I don't see that those problems exist. Improve transportation reliability and efficiency while minimizing future maintenance costs. dont sacrifice more joshua tree parkway and burro bridge cnyn link to MC85 (east-west) to serve Buckeye & Goodyear via Southern Av Superstreet corridor which needs to be part of the plan. East - West traffic is served only by I-10 now. This fwy will not be adequate in the future as the sole east-west link, because of growth that is already planned. Superstreet needed. Southern Av is best. It threatens security. NAFTA None. This corridor will ruin desert landscape, wild life corridor, quality of CAPE recharge system we have I-19 widen it.
