The Arizona Department of Transportation is trying to arrange noise readings along a contentious segment of the new Congressman Ed Pastor Freeway after Promontory residents reminded a department official the tests were promised soon rather than later.
Residents of Promontory – one of Ahwatukee’s newest subdivisions located in the far western end of the community – have been fighting for months with ADOT over its decision to not extend the freeway sound wall far enough west of their homes.
Some residents have accused freeway design-builders Connect202Partners of reneging on their initial sound wall design to save money and improve their profit margin since Connect202’s $1.7 billion contract was a fixed price.
