The Phoenix city manager’s office and Arizona Department of Transportation are continuing their discussions about the South Mountain Freeway, but how those talks are going is anyone’s guess.
Both the city and ADOT have used only general terms to answer questions about the concerns that City Manager Ed Zuercher has expressed about changes in the freeway’s design.
In the Aug. 17 letter, the city manager protested changes that put the freeway at grade level. Several Ahwatukee and South Phoenix streets will cross over it at elevations 17 to 28 feet above grade, he noted.
