I-11 Maps/Proposed Route - Rainfire - 01-21-2022

While the Stop I-11 in Hidden Valley group would like to see the freeway follow I-8 west to Hwy 85 and go N from there, the current proposal, and the one suggested by the state ignores all the comments and supporting material to follow a different route that cuts out approximately 16 minutes of travel time.  This is achieved by coming into the S side of Casa Grande, turning west along Barnes Road and going west to Amarillo Valley Road where it would swing NW to the intersection of Hwy 85 and I-10.  This route goes through countless homes, disrupts a dairy in Buckeye, and cuts close to the now-closed dairy at Louis Johnson Blvd and Amarillo Valley Road.  Here are the maps of the route from which a smaller path will be selected.
