As documented in the Russellville Courier on 7/21/2014, Mayor Eaton stated, “Other Main Street improvements in the Master Plan include a “road diet” to feature one driving lane in each direction, special pavers and a landscaped median, and back-in angled on-street parking.”
Please hear the people of Russellville as we plead with you not to make downtown Russellville a traffic bottleneck. Main Street needs to remain 4 lanes wide. Medians and bike lanes are welcome in Russellville as long as we maintain the standard lane width of at least 12 feet.
Signatures may only be obtained from registered voters who reside in Russellville, Arkansas.

I have spent my mornings sitting on a bench on Main Street watching the morning commute and it is clear that reducing our lanes will cause gridlock that we simply cannot afford. Some of you have sent messages describing your own daily struggles navigating downtown and your stories confirm exactly why this plan is a mistake.

Seeing this level of support reminds me why I started this fight for my hometown. It is clear that the people who actually live here want to keep our streets functional and accessible for everyone.

traffic is already bad enough during rush hour without forcing everyone into a single lane. this plan is a joke and will just cause more accidents.
PLEASE LEAVE THE LANES ALONE. nobody asked for a road diet. we just want to get to work on time.

bad idea. downtown will be a parking lot at 5pm if they do this. keep it 4 lanes.
