We, @cityofmayflower , @FaulknerCounty , and @Metroplan partnered to build the new railroad overpass on Highway 89. The groundbreaking was a demonstration of our joint commitment to create better traffic flow, eliminate delays, and increase safety for the driving public.

The Little Rock metro is among the top 10 destination cities during the pandemic as people relocate to smaller cities from major metro areas. Access to the outdoors and broadband internet make cities like Little Rock and Conway ideal for remote workers. npr.org/2020/11/16/931400786…

Tonight the @CityLittleRock Board and I approved over $1.3MM in projects for Crump, Dunbar, Hindman and Western Hills Parks. We also approved seeking $1.1 million in grants for improvements to MacArthur and Wakefield Parks as well as the Tri Creek Parkway. Parks help to #UniteLR. – at Little Rock, AR

To protect your health and our employees, as well as follow CDC guidelines, all Rock Region METRO buses are limited to 10 riders max. #COVID19
Friendly reminder to limit your transit trips at the this time to essential needs only: getting jobs, pharmacy and critical health appointments, and to buy groceries. All METRO buses are limited to 10 or fewer riders, so ride only when necessary. Otherwise, #StayInAndTellAFriend

This is so true!
Something to bear in mind as we face COVID-19: if Arkansas's population isn't fully represented in the #2020Census, Arkansas hospital services & community health centers could be impacted negatively for the next decade. Make sure you are counted at my2020census.gov/.
