Go ahead - advocate for a full-service resort up here. I'm not going to fight it. If one gets built - I'm sure to go visit it. Do you know a developer - or, developers - that have attempted to build one up here and has been shot down by locals? Flagstaff would be great - because of 1-40 and I-17 meet there. - it gets a lot of cross-country traffic. Bearizona and that new outdoor roller coaster - both in Williams - right off of I-40 are fun. I have not been there in the winter. Not sure if the roller coaster is opened in the winter.
Regarding traffic lane widening: My experience...my observation...when an extra lane was added in the L.A. area - it took years to add one lane. When it was finished - the traffic was just as heavy as it was seven years earlier. In that seven years it took to add one lane- more people showed up. Arizona is growing so fast - not sure how much the added lane will help when finished - probably, 10 years after completion - they will be pushing to add another lane.
Interestingly, that freeway - 202 built around South Mountain - my understanding was that it was built by the private sector - completed a year ahead of schedule and under budget.

They are adding more than 1 lane each direction.
All freeways are built by the private sector in AZ. 202 was procured uniquely in a manner than encouraged them to complete on time.
