New Conservative Fountain Hills Leadership Kills ‘Woke DEI’ Road Diets

Fountain Hill Town Councilmember Allen Skillicorn

With conservatives now dominating the leadership in Fountain Hills, a plan for road diets has been defeated. The Fountain Hills Town Council (FHTC) voted 5 to 2 against the “Woke DEI Vision Zero Road Diet Plan” on Tuesday. The program was approved in April of last year under the leadership of former far left Mayor Ginny Dickey and Democrats on the FHTC. Road diets eliminate lanes on roads in the city and replace them with bicycle lanes.

Fountain Hills Councilman Allen Skillicorn said in a statement released to The Arizona Sun Times, “This plan includes a commitment to gender equity, why? This plan mentions greenhouse gases seven times, mentions climate change nine times, mentions environmental justice thirteen times, and mentions equity twenty times. Our town and our nation have rejected wokeness and DEI. Today is a new era of common sense. This is not for our town.”
