The Agua Fria National Monument
and Bradshaw - Harquahala Proposed Resource Management
Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement is due out soon!! We started this in 2001 and this is the last phase. BLM naturally wants to save $ and prefer people to access the report on the web (free) or a CD (cost BLM about $1)
instead of the printed form. The comment period on the Draft EIS was the last phase in the planning process for
formal public comment (input). The next phase allows only protests. Once the document is formally out,
any person who participated in the planning process and believes they will be adversely affected by the RMP's
may protest the plan decisions. The protest may raise only those issues submitted for the record during the
planning process.
Let BLM know which version you want: (1) Access on the web 2) Have a CD (3) Have a printed copy
Send your request with your mailing address and email address to their emaill address
(AZ_AFNM_Bradshaw@blm.gov or their
mailing address (AFNM& BH RPM and EIS, Hassayampa Field Office, 21605 North 7th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85027-2929. For questions,
please call 623-580-5500. |

Restrictions - Current news is provided at ADOT's

ADOT I-17 Travel Advisory for Sunset Point Rest Area
The Sunset Point Rest Area. located approximately 40 miles north of
Phoenix on Interstate 17, will be closed for renovations beginning
Monday, Nov. 5 until early 2009. Last exits with services on
I-17 north and south of the Sunset Point Rest Area are:

The remodeled facility will include new restroom facilities, picnic

I-17 in the future. For questions about the closure or facility
renovations, please contact ADOT Constituent Services at 602.712.7355.

New River Road - Corridor Improvement Study I-17 to Desert Hills Drive
The Maricopa County Department of
Transportations' (MCDOT) Right Roads Program is gathering community input about potential improvements
along New River Road between I-17 and Desert Hills Drive. The goal of
this study is to identify and establish the future roadway type,
alignment, number of lanes and right-of-way requirements along the new
river road corridor to safely accommodate future traffic demand.
See MCDOT 9-14-07

Carefree Highway Scenic Corridor
Study
-- Thursday, May 22. at 9:30 a.m
- Public hearing for draft Carefree Highway Design Guidelines update.
Location: Maricopa County Board of Supervisors' Auditorium, 205 West Jefferson St., Phoenix.
This is a public hearing; you are invite to attend to provide testimony or comments regarding the draft plan.
See
http://www.maricopa.gov/planning/compln/carefree_highway_SC.asp for the Draft
4 Study.
NR/DHCA's analysis
(see NRDHCH Draft 4 comments) is based on prior comments
(see NRDHCA draft 3 analysis/comments).
The entire county is experiencing rapid growth and
development which will continue to change the once rural landscape to a region characterized by
urban development. Aside from the obvious impacts to land, the environment, and water
resources, it is important to consider the changing impacts to scenic areas like those along
Carefree Highway. Consequently, Maricopa County initiated an update to its Carefree Highway
Scenic Corridor Study, which was approved in 1997.
Support NR-DHCA's analysis. Email
johnverdugo@mail.maricopa.gov
and write
"I support the
recommendations submitted by NR-DHCA."
Alternatively, you could just
voice your opinion by calling John at 602-506-8520 or emailing
johnverdugo@mail.maricopa.gov |
