Monroe Ave. Restriping In-Progress

[@sonofthedesert3132]

Can't help it, but this just made the traffic situation especially around the school way worse. Speed limit from 30 down to 25 isn't attracting people.... it sends them away. No one has time to deal with low speed or wait for ever until someone in front is able to turn due to traffic on the other lane. Downtown Buckeye has become a Needle Ore. Who the heck gets paid to make situations worse rather than better ?????

I most certainly agree!

The fact that tax dollars and time went into this is beyond stupid. The road was fine before with 2 lanes and 35mph. Why the change? Keep old town feeling old and country not confusing and frustrating! I now hate driving downtown!

I dislike coming through Buckeye anymore. I agree this is the dumbest thing I’ve seen. What a waste of money, time, materials. I have yet to see those new parking spaces being used. Traffic is slow because of the 1 lanes. I don’t who’s coming up with these ideas but they are not helping. Just like the merging 1 lanes put in on hwy 85 where people are crossing the centerline to pass slower cars spitting rocks all over the windshields. What was wrong with a 2 lane each direction. If you’re wanting people to come to buckeye let’s get some brighter ideas. Get some businesses & events that are going to generate that. And quit raking them over the coals with fees, regulations, and a bunch of $$. We have gas stations, several Mexican restaurants, a couple $ stores, and drive through liquor stores & 1 grocery store. Sounds like a great family outing. Grab a chair from the $ store head on over to the drive through to get a burro, then head to the drive through liquor store for a drink, and grab some eggs and milk for breakfast and fuel up the ol’ wagon on the way home. Sounds like a dandy ol’ time. What is there to see and do in old Buckeye? No one cares about the new fancy lines and the 25mph. I really didn’t care for the extra parking being taken up by the landscape islands that were put in years ago. I don’t mind the trees n bushes but really the curbs weren’t needed to do that and take way extra parking. Come on. You guys need to do better and maybe rethink some of the ideas coming to the table. I’m not impressed by the lines and lower speed limit. I’m actually disappointed in the people that are making these decisions thinking this is the great reset to revive old buckeye. You guys can do better…can’t ya?!

Another thought….since you have a meeting tonight. You want more people to come to Buckeye and businesses, but you want to make the traffic lanes smaller to accommodate more people to come to Buckeye so that in a few years because of population growth you tear everything up again to resize the traffic lanes…??? Is this how it’s gonna go…? Please clarify. I really don’t wanna have to keep throwing my taxes at this every few years. Let’s try to do it right the first time & I don’t think we are off to a very good start.

Well, good luck with that. We live in Festival so we never go there.
