UPDATED WEEKEND NEWS: River Trail to be Opened for Cars?
This email has made it to my attention. Here is the full text.
Friends of Jimerson Creek Trail (from Jimerson Creek to I-430) We just received this distressing message regarding a move (parties unknown to me) to open the trail along Rebsamen Rd. and the river across Jimerson Creek to I-430 to vehicular traffic. The message was forwarded from Janet Nye and appears to be from Ken Gould at UALR.
for nonvehicular use only. ?Specify that any bridge built across Jimerson Creek be for non-vehicular use only. At the time of the dedication of the Jimerson Creek Bridge in 1997, the Democrat/Gazette reported that, ?Little Rock voters held a referendum in 1992 that scrapped the road extension project for good.? Please attend Thursday?s BACA meeting to show your support for the Trail & to discuss how we (that?s you) can help save this jewel that is beyond value to our community & insure that the citizens of Little Rock are not disenfranchisedby the desires of the few who would act in opposition to the expressed will of the people.
UPDATE: Alltell & Dillards plan to open up a four lane highway from rodney parham under the 430 bridge over jimerson creek and down rebsamen park road to vehicular traffic. Dillards and Alltell have hired lobbyist and a PR firm to look at the feasibility of doing this. It is my understanding the goal is to assist their employees with the commute from west little rock by relieving the traffic on cantrell road.

Alltel and Dillards are the culprits behind opening up the trail to automobiles.

Who is going to pay for a new bridge over Jameson Creek if they open it up to cars?
The current bridge is pedestrian bridge will have to replaced and how will the road go around the bridge over Murray Lock & Dam that is still under construction? Oh wait, the city board will just ask for ANOTHER tax increase. silly me....
