Construction officially began on the Sonoran Desert Parkway in June, but the road project is hardly a new idea. The first purpose-built parkway in the state of Arizona is more than a decade in the making. Prop 469, a referendum aimed at helping fund part of the project, failed in November at the ballot box. But City Manager Rick Horst said the parkway is too important to let stall. 'You know, at the end of the day, if you're always waiting for the cavalry to show up to bail you out, you're probably going to fail more often than you succeed,' Horst said.
