Arizona considers closing remaining rest areas

Arizona considers closing remaining rest areas
Quote:
The state of Arizona has already closed 13 of its 18 rest areas because of mounting budget woes, and the five rest areas still open may be on the chopping block.

That’s because Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has asked state agencies to consider another round of budget cuts – an additional 15 percent – which could mean the shuttering of all the rest areas in the state.

Arizona Department of Transportation Spokesman Doug Nintzel said the agency “has looked at what an additional 15 percent cut to the agency’s operating budget could do at this midway point in the fiscal year.”

“The moves that have been made and those that might occur are difficult ones, but the state’s budget cuts have forced the agency into steps that more drivers will notice.”

Hmmm following which they will place signs stating no parking on shoulder at all exit and entrance ramps. Then we try to figure out where we can park.

Please close them all, and start charging tolls on your interstates. Perhaps a little more tax on your diesel also. Let's see, what else ????????

I know that 2 of the rest areas that were on I 10 west of Phoenix were disgusting and looked like no one ever cleaned them, then i seen they were closed last time i was there, If they cant clean them or do like other states and have volunteers clean them or something then i guess they need to be closed, but man thats gonna kill parking for trucks, as well as i would think kill tourism a bit for Arizona if they do that. But yea i think they need to lay off all thos high paid office people that dont do anything but try to give orders and have an assistant that does nothing, I mean how many assistants does one need anyway? for every assistant there is an assistant for that one, give them all a walk to the unemployment line.

Location...location...location....

I know which one's you're talking about......

IMHO...TX has some of the best maintained rest areas... And by an overwhelming margin (and overwhelming stench)...California has the nation's worst rest areas......again...
Location...location...location......
