The Ahwatukee-based group fighting against the South Mountain Loop 202 Freeway is not settling down now that the comment period is over on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the freeway.

Protecting Arizona’s Resources and Children (PARC) submitted 318 pages of substantive comments to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) during its open comment period, which ended July 24. Now that comments have been submitted it’s a waiting game.
