SAY NO TO THE PROPOSED SOUTH MOUNTAIN FREEWAY!!!

SAY NO TO THE PROPOSED SOUTH MOUNTAIN
FREEWAY!!!

ON OR NEAR DISTRICT 6 AND ON GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITY!!!

Oppose destruction of Gila River and Ahwautukee/Phoenix for politician’s profit!!!!

This week has seen a massive escalation in the planning and development of the Proposition 400 budget plan of the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), this plan calls for the destruction of over 22 miles of the Gila River Indian Reservation, as well as the homes of people in Ahwatukee and west Phoenix, or the destruction of South Mountain, to make way for a new 8 lane extension of the 202.

This Wednesday (TOMORROW) MAG Regional Council will be voting to finalizing the exact route. Public comments will be allowed to voice concerns at this time.

The main option is to place the freeway along the reservation boundary, which will lead to the destruction of Ahwatukee and Phoenix Resident’s houses. So recently, Non-Indian Lawmakers have been voicing to put South Mountain Freeway on Gila River, District 6. Currently, that option would place the freeway along Pecos Rd, and northwards on 51th Ave! Without getting consent from our Community!

So my fellow O’odham/Pi’Posh, COME OUT THIS Wednesday TO TELL THE MARICOPA ASSOICIATIONS of GOVERNMENTS THAT WE, THE PEOPLE OF GILA RIVER INDIAN COMMUNITY, OPPOSE ANY SUCH PROPOSAL! LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
