Subject: Halsell Road sidewalk proposal
Please forward this post to the mayor and the members of the City Council, and to the Transportation
committee person in charge of the Sidewalk program.
Thank you very much.
live at the northwest corner of Halsell Road and Oliver Avenue, and so am intensely interested in the
proposal to build a sidewalk along those two streets. I am completely opposed this proposal, on the
grounds that the sidewalk is not needed and would significantly alter and damage the character of the
neighborhood where three generations of my family have lived.
A walkable city is a good idea. It has succeeded in cities where walkability was established decades
ago and influenced the development of residential and other districts. It makes sense where the
terrain is relatively flat, where people can ride their bikes or walk without fear of a seizure. It makes
sense where young people living in single-family residential districts don't have to drive considerable
distances to their part time jobs after attending classes on the campus. But none of this applies to
Halsell Road.
Fayetteville has begun planning toward that kind of development, where people can live close enough
to the drug store or the market or a movie theater or restaurant to walk there.But older established
neighborhoods like ours are too far out from retail, commercial, or entertainment centers (unless you
count the painfully close athletic complex) to be walkable. The only congestion we experience along
Halsell Road occurs on a few Saturdays in the fall, when people must walk to Razorback Stadium.
Our residential street, created long before the University had a stadium, much less a Southeastern
Conference membership, includes one of the steepest grades in this part of the city. The road is
bounded by large mature trees, old houses, many of them built close to the street, gardens, and
some examples of the work of distinguished local architects. We really don't walk anywhere, except to
exercise our dogs. There is no destination convenient enough for the people who actually live on
Halsell Road to walk to except the University, and we have been doing that for decades already. We
could walk down the hill to a bus stop, but public transportation is still too sporadic to be a practical
resource
I think "walkability" has become a mantra in Fayetteville, and I wish people would not embrace it
without considering whether it is universally applicable.
I expect the City to consider the interests of the tax paying citizens, and not mess up our streets for
the sake of the Razorback fans who are here only a few Saturdays a year. There are other, better,
ways to manage the foot and vehicular traffic .

Subject: Sidewalk Project
Good Morning Ms. Smith,
We would appreciate if you would be so kind as to refer the following comments to the Major and City Council and
Transportation Committee members whom we understand will be discussing a sidewalk project for the area of
University Heights:
We recently moved to Fayetteville and understand that there is a sidewalk project being discussed for approval for the
area of Oliver Avenue and Haskell Road in University Heights. We are contacting you to let you know of our strong
support for this and other sidewalk projects.
Sidewalks mean safety first and foremost. This should be the most important consideration. The area we live in does
not have a significant number of street lights causing us to resort to flashlights at night. Further, while traffic is light it
still exists and cars travel at speeds sufficient to cause injury or death. There are many people who walk dogs in the
roads, including ourselves. There is also football traffic and many walkers in the road during games.
In addition we fully support any effort to improve walkability anywhere in the city and especially in our neighborhood.
Sidewalks improve the overall ambience of the city and improve property. Even homes built close to the road improve
their look and accessibility with proper sidewalks. We have lived in such homes and neighborhoods in the past. Our
experience is that in the long term sidewalks improve property values. We would welcome one on our property.
Thank you for your consideration.

From: Bill and Jackie Curington

Re: Halsell Road Sidewalk Plan
We are writing to express our opposition to the plan to build a sidewalk on Halsell Road. The sidewalk
construction would severely damage the neighborhood character and environment and is an inefficient
allocation of the city's scarce resources.
Most of the homes along this section of the street were built many years ago and are close to the street. A
number are the work of architects whose work is treasured in Fayetteville. A sidewalk would drastically alter
the front yards of many homes and require the removal of a number of mature trees. We are told that the
rationale for a sidewalk is to make walking on the street safer. While walkability is a good idea, the only time
there is a concern about the people walking on the street is during the few Saturdays a year when there is a
football game. Most of this traffic is created by temporary game day parking businesses. We think an occasional
problem generated by temporary businesses is best addressed with a creative solution that can be implemented
on those occasions. We are confident that the creative minds in our city government can design an approach to
this game day problem — possibly through traffic control — that would be more appropriate to the neighborhood
than a sidewalk.
We also know that the city's resources for sidewalk construction are finite. We would argue that scarce
resources are best allocated where they generate the most benefit relative to their cost — both the direct cost and
the indirect costs of neighborhood damage. We notice that this is the only sidewalk project planned for Ward 4.
While we do not think it is necessary to allocate sidewalk resources by ward, there are certainly other locations
in Ward 4 where a sidewalk would generate more benefits and impose less cost. We think that an examination
of alternative allocations of the funds that would be used for a Halsell Road sidewalk would yield a number of
sites with more favorable benefit -cost comparisons. We trust that, as stewards of our city's resources, you will
seek a more efficient allocation of these resources.
Thank you for taking time to consider our concerns ---- and thank you for your service to Fayetteville.

Subject: Proposed sidewalk on Halsell and 011iver
I write to protest against the plan to install sidewalks on Halsell (from Cross to Oliver) and
Oliver (from Halsell to Maple) because there is little or no need there and because the
problems and landscape invasion that would be involved make it unfeasible. I support
everything contained in a patient, reasoned message from Ethel Simpson to all of you. As
Ethel writes, the terrain itself defies "walkability" on the Halsell part at least. And foot traffic
is light to nonexistent except on football game days. Difficulties of car and pedestrian traffic
on those few occasions can be handled in other ways.
I want to add this point. The roads are narrow, there are steep inclines, visibility is limited
over much of the distance. The only way that sidewalks could be installed is to broaden the
roadway extensively. For much loss and little gain.
Before the Council proceeds with this plan, I suggest that the members go and look at the
place itself to see what problems are presented. So far as I know, only one Council member is
familiar with this stretch of roadway. Seeing it with your own eyes is instructive.
