[Per the Entire Corridor] The concept of the I-11 project is all well and good but I think all the millions of dollars this project will cost could be better spent developing and construct a multi-track high speed railway through the proposed corridor and areas. The Western United States is sorely lacking in rail transportation through the North-South corridor where the I-11 is proposed to go while in the Eastern United States continuous improvements of rail lines are being made. It is a known fact that one or two rail cars can carry more freight per mile that a dozen trucks on the highway. Also, I might add that the public would benefit by being able to take a comfortable passenger train instead of flying and having to put up with all of the inconvenience and annoyances associated with it. The added benefit would hopefully aid i [comment was cut off when submitted].

amazing how the ones who want this travesty done are the ones who have a financial interest in this nonsense of a highway while landowners who live near the proposed highway robbery will lose their homes & crime will be rampant due to easy access for drug cartels, a reason why the gov’t wants this done, a cover up for the real reason here is why, quoted from another citizen :  China 11/3/13 This is unbelievable! If this project is approved, it will used to help them complete their North American Union structure. This means our sovereignty and our borders will be in jeopardy! To track and trace their masses(servants), building on the massive displacement of humanity, caused by globalism, the New World Order is rapidly building the control grid. Their goal is to re-wild the rural areas, ripping out the roads and have people move to the cities. They will cordon off roads and some towns will be deserted

Mohave County is the new Silicon Valley of Arizona Mohave County is capable of holding 1 to 3,000,000 people in the county The gaming industry in Las Vegas absolutely love this that is why it is very important for Las Vegas and Kingman Arizona to work together on this project if we could market Mohave County as the new Silicon Valley of Arizona and Las Vegas worldwide investment wood come to the valley this project would help pay for the new interstate I'11 if the economy development Department of Las Vegas and Mohave County  would work together Las Vegas turns down 70 to 80 corporations per year because our city does not fit their corporate profile instead of  turning them away to other states, we could pass them over to Mohave County and we could recoup revenues from their coming to Las Vegas for the annual meetings gaming and entertainment we could structure it so the companies that we pass over to Mohave County wood  only go to Mohave County and no further into Arizona both development departments of Las Vegas and Kingman working together would retain all corporations into either Las Vegas or Mohave County which would be both beneficial to both counties Clark County Las Vegas and Kingman Arizona Mohave County it is a win win situation. It would be called the Nevada and Arizona global economy alliance it would interact with the Las Vegas global economy alliance if you would please email this or send to all concerned parties and the governor the mayor economy development department to discuss this project to see if it would be both beneficial for all parties concerned Las Vegas Nevada and Kingman Arizona Mohave County and the gaming industry thank you, Stephen Cardon. www.kingmanarizonaland.com (link no longer available)  702.871.7822

[Per the Northern Arizona/Southern Nevada Segment and Entire Corridor] We live in a fire district that is responsible for the state highway 93, from mp 50 to Hoover Dam. The district is large in area, small in residents,therefore there is little money to provide fire trucks and EMS to the 50 miles of 93. I-11 needs to provide for fire and EMS service to cover the entire Corridor, but especially the area in the middle of open land in northern AZ. Many tourist buses travel 93 and then the 49 miles up to the Sky Walk inside our fire district. There have been terrible wrecks and deaths on this road.  I-11 must take the EMS capability of the entire length of this corridor.   Thank you.

Nancy Hussey

[Per the Northern Arizona/Southern Nevada Segment] As of now the LMRFD is responsible for the stretch of Hwy 93 between Hoover Dam and Chloride turn off.  A desolate stretch of highway, approximately 50 miles.  The taxpayer of LMRFD are paying for this where they many times do not get reimbursed for their services especially from out of country tourists.  Maybe the State of Arizona should take responsibility for this service since they are going to up the traffic and therefore the need for more emergency services.

8/19/14
Ellen Reh

[Per the Northern Arizona/Southern Nevada Segment] I would like to suggest that provisions be made for funding of fire and emergency medical services along the proposed corridor.  Our small poorly funded fire district is already stretched to provide services on Hwy 93 between mile markers 1 and 43.

The taxpayers of our District foot the bill for the 25%-30% of our ambulance calls that take place on Hwy 93. We rarely collect any reimbursement from the out of state or out of country tourists who comprise most of the traffic on Hwy 93. Increasing that traffic would put an unbearable burden on a poor community of primarily retired and/or disabled citizens.  Not only would local property taxes need to be increased to meet the greater demand, but even more than currently, the services the taxpayers pay for will be unavailable when they need them because of activity on Highway 93.

Surely we are not the only fire and EMS provider along the corridor with this issue.  Hopefully there will be some funding available to help us all out.

Dale Kahre

[Per the Las Vegas Metropolitan Segment] The Las Vegas valley is provided a golden opportunity if the I11 corridor goes around the East side.  There is currently no route for traffic coming south on I15 or north on US95/93 to get through the East side of the valley.  All this traffic goes through the Spaghetti Bowl.  It is plain idiotic to push even more traffic through the Spaghetti Bowl when Ill is built (even after project Neon is completed).

Hello,

With the I-11 corridor in the conceptual phase, now is the time to brainstorm vision and values pertaining to the communities with impacts.  It appears most of the corridor has been carved and planned from Las Vegas to I-10, but the southern reaches are still to be determined.  With Tucson expressing interest in I-11, several possibilities exist for an I-11 extension, particularly in the southern reaches of the Tucson metro region.  My proposal would entail a potential 20-50 year arc, but I believe a potential routing should start near the intersection of I-19 and AZ-86.  The route would overtake AZ 86 to AZ 85 near Ajo and head north to Gila Bend, and overtake the entire AZ 85 route.

Portions of AZ 85 between I-8 and I-10 are already being improved to limited access standards, and it would make an easy transition for improvements.  From Gila Bend, I would recommend starting the exiting sequence at 200 to allow for other potential corridors.

Steve Conant

[Per Southern Arizona] I can’t understand why Chuck Huckelberry wants to destroy such a pristine area and throw over 40 families out of their homes when all they have to do is double deck I-10 for a few miles, and would be cheaper to do.

My wife and I chose to live out here to be away from the noise of the city and to enjoy the beauty of the desert. now the county wants to come out here and destroy it all for all the people who live out here, not to mention ruining Tucson Mountain Park, the desert museum and Saguaro Park West.

Let the city have the noise. They are the ones that will profit off it not the people that live out here and want nothing to do with it.

But i guess in the end the county will choose the wrong option like they always do.

[Per Northern Arizona/Southern Nevada and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area] We now know there’s naturally occurring asbestos in the soil from S. Nevada into Arizona.  What kind of mitigation can you do?  In asbestos areas like Libby, Montana, water is used to keep the fibers from becoming airborne.  We don’t have enough water here to do that.  Blasting and digging for the highway will create a long-lasting and widespread health risk.  We need a good answer this before anybody turns a shovel full of dirt.

I have been involved with some of the I-11 past meetings and I would like to suggest some funding options for funding Infrastructure Projects. I just stumbled on this a month ago and I would like to share this with you it may be the way to get some funding started for the I-11 and other infrastructure projects. I hope you might consider to opportunity in exploring these pension fund options. SEE ALL LINK’S BELOW ABOUT PENSION FUNDS INVESTING IN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS…

I have also shared this with some of the locals in Pinal County and the City of Casa Grande as well as Congressman Paul Gosar Business Liaison Stephen Briggs.

[Per the Entire Corridor] This project is a fantastic idea.  I know many people who routinely travel between either Phoenix and Las Vegas, or Tucson and Las Vegas, and all would be thrilled to have a quicker, safer, more convenient option.  The economic benefits to both states would be great, and as Mexican relations to Arizona continue to improve and grow, we’ll need another big N-S corridor like the one proposed.  I don’t see any reason not to do this, and hope our officials move forward on this project.

Jeremy Totel

[Per the Entire Corridor] In future considerations for this proposed interstate, I hope the planners realized they either must use existing hwy routes as much as possible, or not build in the first place.

The proposed route I have seen through Arizona, makes some use of existing hwy however their is many section of the proposed interstate that Cuts across current non developed land. Further more creating this hwy based off of 1950-2010 ideas is just plain wrong. The entire stretch should incorporate high speed rail, mono rail or maglev service. With the latter more sound for future tech.

Also lining the route with Solar power of some sort either embedded in the roadway itself or raised above through out portions is vital. It no longer makes sense to build such a stretch of development with out considering dual use ways of making the route viable and future proof. Especially consider the huge drawback of the development. The planning committee really needs to get concept artist or artist involved with the plan

[Per Northern Arizona/Southern Nevada, Phoenix Metropolitan Area, and Southern Arizona] This is personal opinion.  I have no interest in nor will I support another interstate highway through the state of Arizona.  It’s time to think beyond cars to more efficient transportation.  If this was about a high-speed rail link across the state to Las Vegas using existing highway corridors I’d be all for it.

Joe Pruchnicki

[Per the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area] The option to have I-15 from Ann and the 215 to Kyle Canyon is a terrible plan. It will run through 2 master planned community’s providence and Sky Canyon. I believe we should explore better options.

Adam Luszczyk

[Per the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area] Running the I-11 corridor through rural Henderson on proposed route bb or qq would adversely affect the lives of Henderson residents along that route, myself included. The residents of this area moved to rural Henderson to be away from the urban areas of town and a freeway running through our backyards would undermine that. Road noise,  increased traffic,  diminished property value,  and a huge eye sore are just a few of the negative impacts to the area. Please leave the I-11 project on existing freeways in the las vegas valley.

Thank you

Brent Honn

[Per Northern Arizona/Southern Nevada and the Phoenix Metropolitan Area] While I agree with the need for this project.

I don’t see the alternate routes around Phx needing to ‘reinvent the wheel’ and build in open desert, from Wickenburg south along Sun Parkway overlap a bit with I-10 and follow an already designed freeway down AZ 85 to the underused I-8 seems so much more efficient and easier to build.

From Wickenburg north follow the mostly freeway ready us93 to I-40 and follow US93 from Kingman to Nevada again seems so much more efficient and easier to build.

I can’t see the proposed routes getting built for decades and decades, if ever.

Robert Mertens

[Per Northern Arizona/Southern Nevada] I believe the on going improvement  to highway 93  should continue

Improving to federal standards. Improve interchange at I40&93

Widening I 40 west bound through Kingman. At I 40 and clacks canyon constructed an interchange to the north over coyote pass. Then on up 93 improving to federal standards.

Lisa Pope

[Per the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area] My question is this…  Why would you consider building a brand new highway right thru the middle of several neighborhoods, a water treatment plant, Lake Mead National Rec Area and my back yard when there are already 2 existing routes? The cost for building this new leg of the I11 will cost far more money and cause a lot of people to loose their homes to eminent domain. I will lose my home!

You all state that it will ease the traffic into Vegas, why do you think people drive thru the desert for hours?? To come to Vegas, so no, that excuse doesn’t work for me.

As far as creating jobs, those same people you will be putting to work can go to work widening either one of the existing alternate routes.

I drive the I-515/93N/95NB to the 15NB 5 days a week and the only issue I have with the traffic is the occasional wreck not an overwhelming number of semi trucks taking up the roadway.

So no, I don’t want this highway to go thru my back yard, if that makes me selfish, so be it!

6/13/14
Anne Edwards

[Per Southern Arizona] My husband and I strongly oppose the proposed I-11 Highway through Avra Valley.  We already have an interstate highway, I-10, which can be widened to accommodate more truck traffic.  This is a much, much cheaper solution and we are saving our beautiful Sonoran desert from more destruction.

An even more economical solution would be to put all this freight onto rail cars.  Switzerland allows no trucks through its country.  Trucks have to offload their freight onto rail cars.  This has made it safer, cheaper, and keeps traffic from snarling its tourist industry.  We rely on tourists in Southern Arizona also.  Think of the money that could be saved, the environment that would be saved, and our air quality improved (and green house gas emissions lowered) from expanding our rail service instead of carrying freight by truck.

Please no new interstate!

Joe Keunen

[Per Northern Arizona/Southern Nevada and the Entire Corridor] We all recognize that the desert brings with it extra beauty as well as limitations.  Transportation and the flow of goods will present corporations with the infrastructure required to move needed business operations to the desert regions. So many companies move their operations to other areas that provide better accessibility. We have a great climate and many able bodied persons ready to fill positions, should we be able to entice business to locate in our areas. Arizona is the greatest place on earth, however, we must improve infrastructure if we want to participate in economic recovery. We need this highway to connect to markets.  It isn’t an option, it is a necessity.

Anonymous

[Per the Entire Corridor] I think that any north south corridor must include rail.  You can transport many more goods, more economically with rail as opposed to thousands of trucks.  This could also provide passenger service along this corridor.  I also think this would require much less maintenance than a four or six lane divided highway.  It would require less land for the right of way and would be far less polluting.  It’s time everybody started to face up to the fact that the days of building new super highways are numbered for many reasons.

6/12/14
Ray Valle

[Per the Entire Corridor] Build it! Vegas and Phoenix are the only two major cities in the country not connected by an interstate. Anyone in the Phoenix area heading north west must go miles on two lane roads to get to an interstate. And since the State of AZ only wishes to provide funding to rural roads and not the 93 corridor it’s time for the Federal Government to finish the system that was stated damn near 60 years ago.

Dianne Douglas

[Per the Phoenix Metropolitan Area] If this freeway goes through the South Mountain Preserve in Maricopa County or any other preserve set aside for our wildlife, then I vote NO on this project and I will fight it.  I believe the majority of people voted NO on going through the South Mountain Preserve the last time this was purpose, and if you are trying to do the same thing as before, but just presenting it differently, then shame on you for wasting tax payer dollars.  I don’t see any wildlife tunnels under the roads like so many states are doing.  The more I think about this, the more I’m against it.  Humans are taking and taking from the environment and not giving back at the cost of the lives of wildlife.  All animals know joy and pain and all want the opportunity to live just like you and I.

6/12/14
Councilmember Dick Powell, City of Casa Grande

I think I-11 is such a great idea if it connects with I-8 west of Casa Grande. This would allow west and east bound trucks on I-10 to circumvent metro Phoenix. Getting appreciable truck traffic to use I-11 would be like adding an extra lane to I-10 between Casa Grande and Buckeye.

Prakash Chaudhari

Dear sir,

Draft corridor suggestion.

Hoover Dam to Kingman traffic, if diverted immediately after Piers Ferry e.g. Take right on colorado  south  passing through Golden Valley  crossing at 68 and colorado  would give a great economic boost to Laughlin/Bullhead area  as well as Kingman and Golden Valley. It would improve the economic activity of west rim, Laughlin, Bullhead City, Golden Valley. In Colorado go further south and merge with griffith/or further south . Take Alamo road to merge with the road to phoenix.

The advantage of this road is ” it can be the future ring road of the whole area of northern Arizona. This would save one hour of time. In addition Kingman can be developed for industrial warehouse of California, sea port, airport , rail port.etc.

I believe this will be the  visionary step for future generation and present generation.

[Per the Southern Arizona Corridor] DHS, Obamas administrations, and local enforcement agencies cannot control illegal alien and drug trafficking. Are we trying to make more convenient?

6/7/14, Carolyn Leigh

[Per the Southern Arizona Corridor] I have owned a second home in Alamos, Sonora for 30 years and support expanded trade, especially from the Guaymas port. Sonora is widening and upgrading Hwy15. The Mariposa Port of Entry has major improvements, but north of there, it’s a bottleneck.

However, I am very strongly opposed to building I-11 through the Avra Valley with its many natural resources and tourists attractions (Desert Museum, etc). Wildlife already contends with enough obstacles without the deathtrap of a major highway. Tourists value the quiet beauty of this major scenic area.

A highway will bring pressure for commercial zoning there and ultimately divert money from the City of Tucson.

I support double-decking I-10. The infrastructure to support the trucks is already in place along this corridor. The cost is much less. Although I don’t look forward to more I-10 construction, it is the cheaper, faster, more focused option for expanded trade from the container port in Guaymas, Sonora and elsewhere in Mexico.

Brit Rosso

[Per the Southern Arizona Corridor and Entire Corridor] I strongly oppose this project. The last thing Arizona needs is another freeway. Auto and truck pollution, urban sprawl, light pollution and the destruction of our fragile desert habitat is already widespread throughout Arizona. This project will only add to these problems and encourage more unplanned development.

Please do not move forward with this project. If transportation studies actually prove that we need to expand our transportation system in the state, consider developing a passenger rail system connecting the state’s major cities and improving freight rail capacity on north-south railroads. Environmentally and economically, rail is a much better option for shipping and for travel than automobiles or trucks.

Neil Miller

[Per the Southern Arizona Corridor] I strongly oppose proposals to build 1-11 through the Avra Valley outside of Tucson.  As a property owner and taxpayer in this area, I am concerned that will destroy quality of life, do great ecological damage, and ruin a beautiful and serene part of the greater Tucson area with noise, pollution, and other detrimental effects.  It will also cause economic harm as well, harming tourism at Saguaro National Park West, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and the Ironwood National Forest.  Thank you very much.

[Per the Southern Arizona Corridor] A super highway that bypasses Tucson to the west would destroy the natural beauty of this unique and fragile area;not to mention the traffic roar right along the boundary of a National Park (Saguaro N.P.West)It’s just ridiculous to be even having this discussion.

6/5/14
Dr. Samuel Breidenbach

[Per the Southern Arizona Corridor] This is an ill conceive and poor idea on many fronts. First, the economic benefits for this have not been shown with anything approaching sound science or economics.  Second, the population growth that might drive this has actually started a reverse trend and will not be coming here to justify it.  Third, those of us that live in this area are not in any way in favor.  It doesn’t bring us any jobs, quicker commutes, better lifestyle, or in any way enriches our experience of living here or why we live here.  We do not want it, we do not need it, and there is no reasonable studies showing how or why we ever would want it.  I know of not a single person I have talked to in this region who is in favor except one neighbor who runs a towing service.  Do we want to end up like Casa Grande did?  I think not.  Let’s leave well enough alone and bypass this bypass this idea and leave well enough alone.

Town of Tonopah

Following is a transcript of comments made by Brenda Gilbert, BEC Environmental, Inc. at the June 2, 2014 NDOT Board of Directors meeting at the request of James Eason and the Town of Tonopah.

“I have been asked by James Eason, Manager of the Town of Tonopah to tell you the Town of Tonopah heartily supports designation of the western Nevada alternative of an Intermountain West corridor following Highway 95 north from Las Vegas as a segment of U.S. Interstate 11. The Town of Tonopah is drafting a resolution for approval by their Board which codifies their support for the designation.

An I-11 designation would benefit the Town of Tonopah and the State of Nevada because it:

• Connects the two population and commerce centers of Nevada
• Supports development of an electric vehicle charging network to enhance tourism
• Improves safety of the route
• Allows development of infrastructure to support “cross-dock” areas for the trucking industry
• Ties together Nellis, Fallon, Hawthorne, and Creech defense facilities
• Ties together airport facilities designated for the unmanned aerial vehicle industry
• Avoids areas in the flight path utilized to transport live ordinance
• Facilitates improvements to “feeder” highways like Highway 6 which connects Bishop California with Ely and Salt Lake City, Utah

Upon designation of the western corridor as I-11, the Town of Tonopah intends to begin a marketing campaign designed to build upon existing industry while attracting new industry consistent with the Governor’s Economic Development Plan. For example, the nation’s only active lithium extraction operation lies along this route. Presence of a robust transportation corridor that enhances connectivity regionally, nationally, and internationally would enable development of a fully integrated supply chain for lithium batteries.

The Town of Tonopah has reached out to its neighbors to begin discussions it hopes will lead to collaboration benefiting all of Nevada. The Town of Tonopah respectfully requests this Board approve support for the western alternative at its earliest opportunity.

[Per the Northern Arizona/Southern Nevada and Phoenix Metropolitan Area segments] I applaud the work so far and urge all parties to consider expanding the project to provide what I call the “Hassayampa World Port” concept.  This involves a new international airport to the west and south of Wickenburg, to the west of the planned Vulture Peak Rec area, and aligning with the I 11 route there – and to include light rail into PHX, and High Speed Rail from the World Port to Las Vegas.  Expected growth to the west and north of PHX will overwhelm current infrastructure in less than 10 years.  Let’s be bold and think 50 – 60 years out.  Thanks.

Mike Schneider

[Per the Southern Arizona Segment] The best route for the portion going through Tucson is a double deck highway which will cost less than the one out west, destroy no protected desert land, not create unnecessary air and light pollution for Kitt Peak and other valuable tourist areas which bring in much of our state money.  Truck traffic will not add time and distance, thus reducing their dwindling profit by making a detour way out west down Sandario.  Finally, many agencies and organizations have already come out against a western route for numerous other reasons.  The double decker over I-10 makes the most sense in all ways.  Do not destroy a protected area out west which is a major reasons tourists come to Tucson and can never be replaced.  Double Decker!!!

4/11/14
Nancy Timper

[Per Northern Arizona / Southern Nevada Segment] Let’s put our dollars into PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION rather than more highways.  The scenic are around Hiway 93 in AZ is one of our favorites and I’d hate to see a freeway cut through it.  Much more forward thinking to build more light rail for north-south transportation.

Paul McClintic, Caltrans

[Per Northern Arizona/Southern Nevada Segment and Entire Corridor] Strongly in favor of a project which fringes near  / or within minor travel from Lake Havasu city and Bullhead City.

Please consider future High Speed Rail in geometric alignment choices.  Potential HSR alignment within the median of the new interstate could be a major positive economic benefit factor for a future expansion of “xpresswest”.

[Per the Phoenix Metropolitan Area Segment] Route North of Wickenburg (from the Prelim/Draft Level 2 Summary):

1)Where the shown I 11 will intersect with the existing US 93 it is not possible to tell if there will be an exchange with SR 71.

2) It is not possible to tell if there will be an exchange with SR 89 (or how far from the SR 89 exchange the I 11 will intersect with US 93).

Either more detail should be provided, or an explanation as to when this level of detail will be made known.
