Fairfield Bay, AR – Residents are outraged and struggling to cope with the consequences of sudden road closures implemented by the city for road work. With only a day’s notice given via flyers and a Facebook post a week ago, many residents found themselves trapped in their homes, unable to access essential services or attend to critical obligations.
The abrupt closures of Owens Circle and West Cliff have led to a cascade of hardships for the community. Residents have reported losing their jobs due to inability to reach their workplaces, while others have missed crucial doctor appointments and legal meetings, incurring substantial fees.
Small business owners are grappling with the absence of employees, jeopardizing time-sensitive projects and their livelihoods.”I couldn’t go to work, and now I’ve been fired,” lamented Sarah Johnson, a single mother. “My kids are crying because I can’t buy the food they need.
“It’s a nightmare.” Mark Thompson, a local business owner, expressed his frustration, stating, “I had an important job with a tight deadline, and my employee couldn’t make it in. The city’s lack of proper communication and planning has cost me dearly.”
Many residents who do not use Facebook were caught completely off-guard by the road closures, finding themselves trapped without any prior knowledge of the situation. The city’s reliance on social media and last-minute flyers has left a significant portion of the population in the dark and unable to make necessary arrangements.
“What about the elderly or those without internet access?” questioned Rachel Davis, a concerned resident. “The city failed to consider the needs of all its citizens and has caused immense stress and hardship.”
As the road work continues, residents are demanding that the city take immediate action to provide alternative access routes and accommodate the needs of those affected by the closures. They are calling for better communication, improved planning, and a more inclusive approach to infrastructure projects.
The Fairfield Bay Board of Directors has yet to address the growing concerns and outcry from the community. Residents remain trapped, their lives upended, and their trust in the city’s leadership severely eroded.
