Goodyear just cleared a hurdle to build the Sonoran Valley Parkway, a more direct route to a community that currently is home to fewer than 100 residents.
The feds approved allowing the proposed 15-mile parkway to travel across federal lands.
But city officials have no firm timeline for the road first proposed 11 years ago to connect Goodyear and the tiny community of Mobile. The city annexed Mobile in 2007 when a developer planned to build some 45,000 homes there.
