As a member of the Phoenix South Mountain Preservation Committee, Robin Salthouse has fretted for 15 years about a freeway ripping through Ahwatukee’s signature landmark.
And as a resident near 40th Street between Chandler Boulevard and Ray Road in Ahwatukee, she has pressed the city for more than three years to study and prepare for the impact of traffic that the South Mountain Freeway’s construction is expected to divert from Pecos Road.
But Salthouse and her neighbors are not encouraged by the city’s disclosure last week that it will finally undertake that study.
