If you are shocked that Governor Katie Hobbs won't object to Interstate 11 cutting through the rural heart of Avra Valley and Picture Rocks, here's a link to tell her:

For more information and talking points: https://www.sonorandesert.org/2024/06/07/action-alert-new-comments-needed-in-opposition-to-i-11/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2TPfpdGqsk2zPoxM7UNMlTylC-o3lmYXvN8UKsYIjr-lOcA3_gCWwzdYA_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw This picture shows a fraction of the many miles of wild desert that would be destroyed if the Arizona Dept of Transportation runs I-11 through AV and PR (the western route). It doesn't have to. Thanks to public outcry during the first round of comments ADOT is now giving equal consideration to combining I-11 with the existing interstates. Governor Hobbs needs to be reminded that opposition to the western route is widespread and strong on both sides of the political spectrum. She might not realize that the western route would cross designated wildlife corridors, run close between a national park and a national monument, and cut across private land that hundreds of people call home. If you would like to see galleries of additional photos that show what could be lost as well as some of the many people who would be displaced if the western I-11 route becomes a reality: https://www.frankstaub.com/Folders/Here-Today-Projects-Frank-Staub/Interstate-11-What-Would-be-Lost?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3m4cretI94T9mQArUBWvDS6wYxl_cmEa1xln4pb6-8i4J8OxA-AFQD2Fg_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw
