East Valley motorists in the coming years will reap a significant part of a billion-dollar windfall that will jump-start upgrades on several key highways in the region.
That forecast to the Chandler Chamber of Commerce came recently from Bob Hazlett, senior engineering manager for the Maricopa Association of Governments, the principal highway planning agency in the Valley.
“If you haven’t seen a construction cone lately, you’re going to be seeing a lot of construction cones soon because this is a pretty big shot in the arm,” Hazlett told a group of business executives and Chandler City Council members.
