Interstate 710
I-710 was proposed to follow the current day alignment of Kino Parkway, an at-grade parkway, between Broadway Rd and Interstate 10 in Tucson, Arizona. But it was never built. This freeway, if built, would have served the Downtown area, the University of Arizona campus and the industrial area between the railroad and I-10; an extension to Tucson International Airport was also proposed., and also first shown on a Tucson map in 1971. Strong community opposition to freeways in Tucson was a major reason for cancellation of the project; the Tucson area has long been opposed to the rapid urban sprawl since.

Famous quotes containing the word interstate:
“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
