STOP the freeway expansion; Highway Department feeling some heat

[Hestia]

2. I understand that yes, something different is needed, but I also understand that there are some

hellacious wrecks on the bridge everyday. Status quo is dangerous. What gets me, is knowing that this was going to happen, why would you pour money into an area that will then be torn up to expansion. Benton & Bryant didn't get away with it when 30 was expanded, why should these people?

One way to get to come to a grinding halt - enact a local tax, where those who live outside Pulaski county but work within PAY their fair share of infrastructure costs. We are subsidizing 7 + counties. Should have been done back in the 1980s. Sprawl would never have happened here if it had.

Plus, what neighborhoods are they talking about? It is a shit hole on the east side of both LR & NLR. Half of the housing Needs to be torn down. Vibrant DT activity? Phooey - it will be dead within 5 years anyway. It'll be onto something new by then.
