Soleri and I have gone back and forth recently on this issue. While I respect his logic and even agree with most of his argument, I remain unswayed from the opinion that a single east-west non-obstructed arterial is a bad idea. Soleri, food for thought...because Tucson is land-locked to both the East and West by mountains, building a x-town freeway will not promote further sprawl. On the contrary, I think it would actually contract development from the fringes of the north and south and promote infill and higher-density development along what would be an arterial that could move a Tucsonan from one extreme to the other in 15 minutes.

Yes, I am still very much in favor of the Great Freeway That Will Never Be Built. But for the record and all...
