Pinal County is Wreaking Havoc...

Counties toiling to catch up from lack of regional plans, from the Arizona Republic, reports that faster than expected growth in Pinal County is wreaking havoc on its largely rural road system, and the county doesn't have the resources or expertise to plan and build the roads and freeways it needs. State and local leaders, meanwhile, were slow to react as parochialism, civic rivalries and failure to plan across county lines have kept Pinal County out of the regional transportation mix. Pinal county will face a difficult game of catch-up with the ongoing growth. A September 2003 MAG study said foreseeable transportation needs in Northeastern Pinal alone would cost the county $5 billion. Until the county and ADOT come together with a future transportation plan for Pinal County, they will always be playing catch-up.
