Now, to actually address the comment about 20 years, here' s what I would believe to be why. You have the mass expansion going on in both the east/west valley areas, which require freeways to ease street congestion and to enable business corridors to develop along those arterial routes. Anthem is an up-scale master planned community with amenities that allow it to be nearly self sufficient in the sense that everything but the high-paying jobs required to live there are provided within a reasonably short distance. It was no secret that I-17 was THE way in and out of the area. My perception is that the highway construction currently under way is intended for the masses as a whole, rather than one group of people that feel privileged beyond their right and want it sooner.

Although they had the Dan Ninsel (sp?) the Freeway Guy on 99.9 about 2 weeks ago and a caller asked about how long it was gonna take to expand I-17 heading up to Anthem. The guy said 20 years. 20 freaking years to add an extra lane. Hence the reason I'm going to CA instead of Flagstaff..well that and there's beaches in CA.

I highly doubt it will take long to bridge that gap...and to think it was forecasted to happen 20 years out, but is already close in 2.
