ITEM NO.: 11 (Cont.) _ FILE NO.: MSP13-01
The major east -west movement is no longer along 6th Street since the construction of the
9th Street extension. 6th Street functions as a connection to 9th Street and to Downtown to
the west. This is more in the character of a Collector. With the Elementary school and
local park along the north of 6th Street, it would be more desirable to not encourage large
volumes of heavy traffic, including trucks, on this segment of 6th Street. The street
should serve the neighborhood and as an access to the arterial system of roadways
serving the city and region.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS:
Notices were sent to the East Little Rock Neighborhood Association. Letters were sent
to approximately 22 property owners along this segment of 6th Street. Staff has
received several informational calls from area property owners as a result of the mailing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff believes the change is appropriate.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (DECEMBER 12, 2013)
The item was placed on the consent agenda for approval. By a vote of 8 for, 0 against,
2 absent and 1 vacant position the consent agenda was approved.
