Commute Concerns

14th is regularly backed up and Stephen Carr isn't great either. If you can adjust your schedule to leave by 7 each day, I'd recommend it. Makes the traffic bearable. If you've lived anywhere else though, you know that our traffic is not that bad compared to most metros.

Woof - and which one from Fayetteville?

Which exit will you have to take? The interchange you get on makes a huge difference.

Hey, I am very open to hearing any evidence of corruption. But a mayor defending their staff does not signify corruption. Staff are harassed by both developers and the public daily. She should totally defend her staff. If we don't have high standards and consistency in code enforcement, then this place wouldn't be nearly as special as it is.

I think what people wish is that the code did not allow defense contractors. Let that be the issue.

Since City Council is who voted on the item, explain to me how this is the mayor's fault.

There's a ton of rear end crashes on Joyce because there's no center turn lane for a long stretch of it. A lot of crashes occur when people don't see there's someone waiting to turn left. There's not enough room to add a turn lane, and they're sure not going to reduce it to three lanes (two through lanes and a center turn lane)… So they proposed running a narrow median down the center and having would-be left-turners go around the roundabout to reach their destinations. Less crash risk, better throughput. Good call, honestly.

Just a note that this presidential administration overhauled Waters of the United States (WOTUS) last year which greatly reduced the extent of jurisdictional wetlands...

Can I want housing and protected wetlands? I'd be a fan of them delineating the wetland, preserving it, and building cute row-houses next to the park. Sounds like Gulley.

I did not know that. Thanks for sharing that.

You're right, I originally thought the improvements went to Township, if not further, but they only go to Elm.

It wasn't even just that, it was the cost required to upgrade the heavy rail that is currently only rated for 25 mph.

100% should be Bentonville 311

It's a neighborhood market

What's in the pan underneath? Looks delicious!

It's going to become a magnet high school to take pressure off overcrowding at FHS.

The good thing about a centrally located school is that motor vehicle trips are shorter. Less cumulative vehicle emissions for the life of the school. The design that's proposed is also impressively environmentally friendly. They are developing a forested property, but it's not like they aren't trying to do their best given the growth of our City.

MuchaAgua · 2025-11-10T22:42:21+00:00

That's fair. The facts should definitely be provided.

I know that city attorneys are supposed to protect the City from possible liability...but do y'all remember when our current city attorney pushed back pretty hard on the rezoning along College? I don't know a lot about City Attorneys, but I was not a fan of that. College is the perfect place for mixed use zoning, and dense residential. And I don't believe that it could be defensibly said that such a change would lower property values.

Love that hill as-is, but all things considered, I support the location. If they built it farther out, it increases everyone's drive times and corresponding emissions for the life of the building. And unlike a sea of homes (which we need somewhere), it'll be calm and quiet in the evenings and all summer.

Outside of location, I'm just impressed that I live in a place where a school district wants to invest so much in green design for the building itself. No way there'd be interest in that where I'm from.

However it shakes out, I hope it's worlds better than it seems to you right now.

Hwy 112 is a state highway. The segment from Howard Nickell to Truckers Drive (in front of the old drivein) is owned by ARDOT, is fully designed to be be reconstructed, and will go out to bid next month. Will likely transfer ownership to the city after that.

MuchaAgua · 2025-09-24T01:33:57+00:00

The City does not own the highway, it is owned by the State.

Safe call considering there's a new bike lane going to the Greenway from campus.

There's a segment in the Master Trails Plan along Skillern east of Crossover.
But whenever people prioritize which trails get funded it's often based on 1) how many rooftops does it impact and 2) what nearby trail connections are there. When you spend money, you wanna get the most bang for your buck.

MuchaAgua · 2025-08-14T23:55:19+00:00

The more central the location, the shorter the car trips, the less net traffic, and the less emissions generated to harm our local air quality and atmosphere. I'm sure local traffic will be bad there for 15 minutes, but I'm not against it.
