Environmentalists are suing to stop a proposed new interstate which they say would cut through sensitive lands.
No pavement’s been put down for I-11 just yet. It’s a plan right now. But where that plan proposed to put the road has environmentalists sueing to stop it.
The proposal for I-11 would connect Nogales to Wickenburg—with the idea of that 280 mile stretch eventually expanding to carry cargo and people all the way from Mexico to Canada. David Robinson of the Tucson Audubon Society says, “The proposed West option for this freeway would go through some of the most sensitive bird habitat around and it's absolutely irreplaceable. We actually, this is one of the area's that's designated and working for their area, federal designation and the habitat itself is world famous among birders and really, truly irreplaceable.”
“We've got that infrastructure money that is now going towards, hopefully they're talking about this high speed rail between Phoenix and Tucson again. So there's so many different ways that people and freight can get around. We don't need to be destroying our national parks.”
