Phoenix Stadium On Hold
19 September 2001 - 10:00am
Concerns over whether the new Arizona Cardinals football stadium will be a hazard to regional air traffic prompt delays.
The FAA in July declared the stadium a potential hazard for pilots using Sky Harbor International Airport. Phoenix officials cite those findings in the complaint, referring to a state law that bars airport hazards.But the state Tourism and Sports Authority insists that most of the FAA's concerns were addressed in a revised site plan, which shifts the stadium 1,600 feet east, farther away from the airport's North Runway. Authority officials also say they will do no above-ground work on the project until the FAA issues its report.

No matter how one wanted to organize the ideal city, housing security would be part of it. No community can function effectively if large numbers of its residents are regularly displaced or perpetually at risk of being displaced.
