The plan now being proposed is a two lane road with paved shoulders. As a part of the project, some of
the vertical and horizontal alignment of the roadway will be adjusted to make the roadway safer.
It is the policy of the Little Rock Board of Directors to not place speed humps on arterial and collector
streets for public safety and traffic considerations. Arterial streets by design move large volumes of traffic
including emergency responders at higher design speeds. Speed humps are sometimes used on local
street to deter speeding where there are documented problems with speeding.
For the development that includes Waterford Drive, the developer paid a fee in -lieu of constructing the
improvements. The funds are being held for future roadway improvements.

To whom it may concern,
I am a resident of 2 Waterford Dr, fronting Pinnacle Valley drive (approx'/z mile south of Hwy 10). It has
been brought to my attention that the Planning Commission is requesting that the master plan be altered
to reduce the status of this road from a 4 lane arterial to a 2 lane road with shoulders. I am in no way in
favor of this road becoming a 4 lane road for many reasons.
The county road is 2 lane and the traffic count in no way supports a larger road. There is relatively no
room for significant widening of the road, and the city has stated that they lack the funds to even improve
the current road as is. There is a widespread occurrence of speeding on this road, with relatively no
police presence.
I would request that the road status be changed and that the city install a series of speed bumps on the
road which might help deter the speeding and help enforce the speed limit.
I would also request that I be provided with the information to find out if the developer of our subdivision
was supposed to improve the section of road fronting our homes in lieu of paying development fees to the
city. If so, when is the timeline for this to be completed? Or even started?
