This is crony capitalism at its finest and it must be stopped. 

No.

I think this is a great idea but not one that I would like to see our tax dollars support.  If it is a viable pursuit, and I believe it would be profitable, let the private side do it.

Fun, but no.

Terrible idea. The Gateway is plenty enough for that area. Tearing up more desert and creating more traffic is not wanted or needed.

The DDC isn't necessarily a bad idea, but in its current state is cost prohibitive, way too expensive to operate and the location picked is totally unacceptable. The Preserve must remain what was promised to the public, a preserve not a park with attractions. Also, there are many obstacles to trying to shoe horn it into the Preserve, which should tell you it doesn't belong there. It should never be in the Preserve period, like it or not.

Kevin,

Our traffic engineering team has looked at this situation, and we are going to improve the signage for eastbound driveway traffic approaching Hayden, and possibly enhance the cross-walk.

Look for activity here soon, and thank you for posting. 

Great idea!

Love this.

A sound idea, but it sounds like a duplication of Gilbert's Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch.  I question whether there are sufficient financial resources for a duplicate project relatively close to Gilbert's.  

There is also one near the Audubon Center in downtown Phoenix. Both are along the Salt River basis which makes sense - expanding one of those two is better than competing....
