That mall at Cantrell and 430 is a superb example. The costs to citizens for their gas and time spent sitting in traffic jams that should have been avoided with good management practices are easily in the millions. All so that a developer could profit by moving jobs around within the city.

How many businesses were talked into moving into that mall from the Heights and are now out of business? I know of at least one.

It ought be be retitled "Little Rock Bad Planning Commission" and everyone on it should be ashamed of their work.

Anything less will show your true loyalties… actions speak louder than words (or blog posts).

And Stacy, a very Merry Christmas, hope you and all you hold dear celebrate the birth of the Christ Child joyfully.

I wonder if you would want to post their addresses? No Capital View or Lower Hillcrest address among them are there? All three are high dollar properties. And while you are so, so forthcoming with a wealth of information, how about posting your three Planning Commission Members businesses? We then can all see how they are connected to the real estate monster that you support over citizens.

We know that you’ll never support the Planning Commission being required to have members from every Ward, you’d have to give up 2 and that would dilute your power.

I do wonder why chipotle didn't go in the midtown shopping center or the park place shopping center both have plenty of empty spaces.

“Also, re: Planning Commission composition. A simple look at the City's website shows that there are six different zip codes represented on the Planning Commission -- from West Little Rock to downtown.”

Did you take the time and thought to research where the really live? Did you happen to notice the address of the Planning Commission members who use their business addresses on the city webpage?

Ok, all but two live in West LR if you must know!

I don't have a dog in the hunt either way (I liked the Baker building before it was modified over the years) -- but if one is going to be making derogatory statements about public officials who put in long hours for no pay (planning commission members log probably over 10 hours of meetings a month) -- make sure statements are facts and not heresay hyperbole.

Unfornately for the Park Plaza merchants, there are also stores further out so people don't need to be inconvenienced by the back-ups at Chic-Fil and Mickey D's and Chipotle. I believe that Chipotle is a Mickey D subsidary so that might be why they were willing to help correct the Chic Shack issue.

The Planning Commission should have representation by every Ward, not just two zip codes in West Little Rock.

Then think about all of the people out on Rahling Road who got screwed this week while Deltic got their boots licked by the board. Until the At-Large Directors are no longer part of the board’s makeup, the chamber rules.

Oh, and who were the two City Directors who stood up for the west LR neighborhoods? Not Joan. It was the Erma and Ken, the two who try and look after people first.
