A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION, ARIZONA, APPROVING EITHER
ALTERNATES 3 OR 5 FOR THE LOCATION OF THE WILLIAMS
GATEWAY FREEWAY CORRIDOR.
WHEREAS, the City of Apache Junction (the "City") supports the expansion of
the Williams Gateway Airport ("WGA"); and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that the construction of the Williams Gateway
Freeway ("WGF") is an integral component of the transportation system needed to
support the WGA; and
WHEREAS, the City supports the WGF Corridor Study ("WGFCS") performed
by the Maricopa Association of Governments; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that the WGF will extend into Pinal County and
serve as the critical transportation corridor that will support both the employment and
commercial growth of the City and southeast valley; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes Alternate 3 of the proposed WGF will best serve
the City; and
WHEREAS, the City will also support proposed Alternate 5 because the City
realizes the importance of the construction of a full interchange at Ellsworth Road; and
WHEREAS, the City will support Alternates 3 or 5 because the city does not want
to displace Pinal County residents which would be a foreseeable and unfortunate result if
Alternate 7 were to be implemented.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and City Council of the
City of Apache Junction, Arizona, as follows:
The Mayor and City Council of the City of Apache Junction, Arizona, support
Alternates 3, and 5 of the WGFCS. However, because Alternate 3 will not allow
for the construction of the full interchange at Ellsworth Road, the Mayor and City
Council recognize that Alternate 5 of the WGFCS overall is the preferred
Alternate for the growth of the City, Queen Creek, and the entire southeast valley.
