A crash Jan. 29 at the Casa Blanca intersection with State Route 347 during morning rush hour backed up traffic into Maricopa along John Wayne Parkway and its arterial streets.
The situation is not as uncommon as residents would like. Any improvement to the experience of driving on SR 347 is in demand.
One possible solution would have voters raising their own taxes for a Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) that could add lanes to the highway.
