The total compensation they would have to make would be so astronomical I feel pretty certain it would be just like the Paradise Parkway. There is hundreds of millions of dollars of privately owned land they would need to acquire for exit ramps and business owners would likely be granted compensation by a judge if it ever had to go that far. It's simply not feasible.
So, yes technically it is possible they could build a limited access freeway there. It's also technically possible I could sleep with Sofia Vergara but in reality that's not really feasible. Calling hundreds of millions of dollars of private investment "expendable" just doesn't really make any sense to me. I can't imagine that you really think that, either. I potentially believe you just want to be right so you're arguing.
Edit: forgot to say you're partially right on your last point. The ROW is technically wide enough to put in a six lane divided highway. It is potentially not wide enough for exit ramps, however. We have been arguing about that a lot lately, people keep bringing up exactly what we are discussing. It seems everyone who favors limited access has not stopped to think about all the factual information at hand and just emotionally wants a freeway to get across town faster.

You were too triggered to even respond (OR QUOTE) my entire post which certainly was a lot more nuanced than your thick-skulled response would incline.
YOU are the one attempting to be "right" here and certainly being pedantic.
ALL I fucking said was "I'm not saying it wouldn't affect businesses but if there were access points along 99th and 91st, where most of the commercial businesses are located and you could still access them from 99th and 91st themselves then they could continue to serve the community with relative ease of access.
I am out that way all the time as my business is located out by the AFB and I take either Northern or Glendale. I also own a home at Rovey Farms and have wondered how it could pass that stretch of Northern as well as where your property is located - it seems awfully narrow to fit what they have put out west of Dysart - I would imagine it would require acquisition of homes on either the north or south side perhaps - the landscape areas at Rovey Farms are enormous as well but I imagine the HOAs own those parcels . . . I'm just barely not curious enough to look for these easements or the assessor's maps"
You didn't really address anything I said - not that I expect you to do so, but don't blindly insult me when I was being genuinely curious. That's called being a cunt.
Also, if there IS indeed a preserved ROW for this thing and it could "technically" fit then it could be done without acquisition of private property? If not, how many do you think would need to be purchased/demolished?
Show me or explain to me the businesses that I did not cover in the above that would have access affected (aside from during construction) ? ? ? I am curious what I am missing.
Again, I'm not saying I'm "right" as I also am out that way daily and have owned homes and a business out that way for a very very very long time. Also - is the amount of homes similar to the Paradise Parkway - I know the real estate values are NOWHERE near comparable . . . Might I also ask, WHO, is it exactly that you feel "emotionally" wants a "freeway" to "get across town faster" ? ? ? Perhaps it is YOU who does not think about all the "factual information at hand" such as the future projected growth of the West Valley and the pressure that is going to put on the existing transportation infrastructure etc - you come across very condescending.
