Mrs. Ruth Bell, representing the League of Women Voters of Pulaski County, was the last speaker at Citizens Communications. Mrs. Bell's subject was the Chenal Parkway Traffic Study, and said although it is admirable that Director Keck is going to work with a study group made up of people impacted in that immediate area, the League of Women Voters of Pulaski County would like to see the Board of Directors set up an advisory committee drawn from residents city wide and charged with developing an action plan to implement the traffic study recommendations. Such a plan would include, but not be limited to: a time line for plan implementation, a recommendation for sources of funding to carry out the recommendations, and establish criteria to be met before the City's Master Street Plan is redrawn.

Broadway, expressed her opinion that the school should be saved until it can be restored. Mr. John Bush, resident of the area and Chairman of the Historic District, urged the Board to consider and pass an Ordinance that supports preservation of the City and the City's fabric.
