He added that because of costs that was not going to happen, so they are going to use the existing Hwy. 89, adding that this proposal is to construct an interchange and connectivity, a small strip of road to connect to Hwy. 89. He related that Cabot acted on this already. He then pointed out that an interchange would relieve a lot of the morning traffic congestion at Vandenberg coming from North Pulaski down Maddox Road.

Mayor Fletcher stated that he made reference at the previous City Council meeting and he intends to have something available for the next City Council meeting, announcing that there will be a public hearing regarding the 1-30 widening. He stated that the City of Jacksonville residents need to be involved because while the controversy has been on the Arkansas River Bridge in Little Rock, the Highway Department is concerned that a lot of people are not getting involved in the public hearings. He stated that for citizens of Jacksonville, the area along 6 7 / 1 6 7 there is a part of this expansion that deals with us, which is better connectivity between Hwy. 6 7 / 1 6 7 and 1-30. He explained the traffic hazards for motorist where 1-40 comes into Hwy. 6 7 / 1 6 7 .
