Constrained future mission expansion at FMR; and
Additional financial costs to meet military training objectives.
In 2017, the ADOT requested input on the preferred action corridor that includes
proposed roadway alignments and segments. The AZARNG provided input on concerns
and potential impacts, which are displayed in Table 5‐3. The roadway segments and
alternatives that these comments are associated with are shown on Figure 5‐3.

The proposed routing of both segment 1 alternatives W1a and W1b would each cross the
Rittenhouse Training Site, and result in degradation of the AZARNG helicopter training
mission at the site or the loss of the entire site for training activities. Segment 3
alternatives E3a and E3c would align closely to the western border of FMR and
potentially impact current mission operations and future mission expansion
opportunities.
