The Hassamaypa (blue) section is especially egregious. This section would be west of the White Tank Mtns. between Suprise and Buckeye.That area is completely undeveloped Sonoran desert in decent biodiversity shape except for the damn cattle present. The West Prescott Loop would also tear up a lot of good shit and make access to Prescott unnecessarly easy for Phoenix goobers to trash the National Forests and BLM lands leading to Prescott.
Make the world grey, plant some concrete today.
Cutting travel time by up to twenty minutes (just guessing) is not worth the continuning destruction of our wildlands.
My thanks to Ed Abbey.
