SCARS ON THE LANDSCAPE; DUE TO THE TURF BATTLES BETWEEN MCDOT, APS, CAP, CITIES OF SURPRISE & BUCKEYE AZ. IN THE N.W. VALLEY WE THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE TO PUT UP WITH MORE SCARS THEN NEEDED. IN JUST ONE 2-1/2 MILE LOCATION WE HAVE THE SUN VALLEY PARKWAY, MAJOR APS TRANSMISSION LINES AND THE CAP CANAL NOW THEY ARE PLANNING THE TURNER, ROSE AND DEER VALLEY PARKWAYS ALONG WITH ANOTHER 500VK LINE TO RUN NORTH. NOW I KNOW GROWTH IS COMING AND I AM IN FAVOR OF GOOD PLANNING FOR THAT GROWTH. HOWEVER CUTTING 5 MAJOR SCARS ACROSS THE LAND WHEN 2 OR 3 WOULD DO IS JUST ANOTHER REASON PEOPLE DONT LIKE BIG CORPS AND MOST GOVERNMENTS. THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY MCDOT AND APS CANT SHARE THE SAME EASEMENT FOR THEIR FUTURE POWER LINES AND PARKWAYS. THEY WOULD BOTH SAVE MONEY BY SPLITING THE COST OF DOING ALL OF THE DEAD INDAIN AND EXTINCT BIRD & BUG STUDIES REQUIRED BY THE FEDS AND OTHERS. STOP AND THINK IF COMMON SINCE WAS STILL COMMON THEY WOULD HAVE PUT THE LIGHT RAIL BETWEEN GRAND AVE AND THE RAILROAD TRACTS. FOR ABOUT THE SAME COST THEY COULD BE RUNNING FROM WICKENBURG TO DOWNTOWN THEN EXTEND ALL OF THE WAY TO CHANDLER OR A.J. AND STAY ON THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY. EVEN BETTER RE-ARRANGE SOME FREIGHT TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR AND RUN SOME COMMUTER CARS LIKE THEY DO BACK EAST. WHEN ANY COMMON SINCE WAY TO SOLVE A PROBLEM RUNS UP AGAINST GOVERNMENTS NEED TO INCREASE THEIR IMPORTANCE AND INFLUENCE OVER THE PEOPLE, THEN COMMON SINCE IS KICKED OUT OF THE DOOR.
