Monday, October 29 - UPDATE - Don’t allow the development of Mergeron Court on Markham across from Brady Elementary

Please keep this small green space. Don’t allow them to tear it down and build. Listen to your community.

I am very much against this development.

The reasons this land was protected as a green space several years ago have not changed. If anything, they’ve become more compelling in recent years. Moreover, Little Rock is not suffering any shortage of housing.

I am opposed to the development, it will cause significant flooding issues in one of the cities busiest water thoroughfares in the city. The flooding will effect and become much worse in many neighborhoods such as Briarwood, Leawood, Wingate. I do not believe the city will have the funds to cover the widespread damage to private property owners. I’m certain the developer Icon Homes will not have a bond on file to cover all property damage caused to land owners.

This development is totally unnecessary. It will eliminate precious green space. It will also cause significant traffic issues, especially with the traffic associated with the Brady Elementary School. There is to much traffic congestion in the area now. This development will only increase the traffic congestion.

Keep it green!

This is the exact opposite of what Little Rock needs. We need to keep the inner-city green spaces we have left to keep our beautiful city from becoming a desolate concrete jungle. Also, there is no way the proposed houses won't flood due to the watershed effect. It is an absurd proposition that has not at all been thought out. The increased congestion and danger at the entrance to Brady Elementary should be enough to stop this, but there are all of the aforementioned issues as well that make this a terrible idea. Please do not allow this area to be rezoned.

Please vote no on the housing development across from Brady Elementary. For all of the reasons listed in the above petition.

Apache Road, Briarwood

Please do not approve the new development.

I oppose the proposed development across from Brady Elementary School.

Do not allow this development.

This green space is important to absorb water that is already causing flooding in the area.

Such a bad idea. Go somewhere else!!

I am against this development.

We do not need another developed area right across from Brady elementsry. The traffic is already so bad.

I oppose this measure as this development has zero benefits for neighborhoods & many sound reasons it shouldn’t exist from causing even more flooding in the area, to safety concerns related to the school children as well as people who walk with or without dogs in neighborhood. Destroying the natural green space will reek havoc on the environment by increasing pollution, endangering the safety of animals and humans alike, and cause untold amounts of property damage. This will ruin the neighborhood I live in & love for no other reason than the greed of a developer. Please don’t allow them to destroy my home!!

We do not want these houses to be built in this area

That development will cause many problems for the leawood/ Wingate area. Traffic, loss of green space , school concerns such as safety issues, and flooding of existing residences are just a few.

Please keep our kids safety in mind. Travelling Markham between 720 and 8 am is already a horror. People in the left lane heading east and the west lanes drive too fast in the school zone. Traffic turning into Brady backs up to Rodney Parham and Mississippi in each respective direction. Added to that the rush hour traffic going down Markham. No more traffic is needs to be funneled onto Markham at the busiest time of the day
