Arizona Department of Transportation engineers and other experts got kudos and brickbats thrown their way as about 80 residents on May 22 looked over plans for the possible addition of a 32nd Street interchange along the South Mountain Freeway.
While some residents near the interchange ramps were upset by how close they were to their homes, others were relieved that an interchange would create an additional route for vehicles heading to and from Desert Vista High and other nearby schools.
ADOT spokesman Dustin Krugel said the agency is still weighing citizen input and finishing an environmental impact study before it reaches a decision on whether to add the interchange. That decision, however, likely will come in August, he said.
