Community
Roundtable - July 24, 2001
Every Tuesday, community activists bring their perspectives to
a wide range of issues of local concern.
July 24, 2001
Topic: Transportation
Producer: Paul Atkinson
What do community leaders think about the pace of freeway
construction and road improvement? Will spending hundreds of millions
of dollars on mass transit alleviate traffic congestion? Should
flights to and from Sky Harbor be rerouted and should Williams
Gateway Airport be looked at as a solution? These are some of
the areas citizens will discuss on Tuesday's Community Roundtable.
Also, complete details of a KAET
Poll on transportation issues - what do voters think needs
to be done?

. . But ultimately, you have such a parochial system that you
have ten feet of freeway being built here in Glendale and ten
feet being built here. it gets to the point of ridiculousness."
