Most environmentally threatening items on tonight's Fayetteville City Council meeting

9. Highway 16 Improvements: A resolution authorizing payment to the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department in the amount of $980,906.00 for a portion of the City’s fifty percent (50%) share of improvements to State Highway 16 from Armstrong Avenue to Stonebridge Road.

Highway 16 Improvements
That disastrous piping of water where grass swales now function fine is on the consent agenda.
The prairie on both sides of the 15th Street portion will loose a lot of ground with native species that flourished in past few years but got mowed a lot this summer because owners are getting desperate to sell.
The various watershed ordinances in the works won't be enforced on these projects. The AHTD is the worst player in this kind of thing.

New business' most frightening item. I hope Barbara Moorman shows up to present what she sent out yesterday or day before to council, mayor and her mailing list.
4. SouthPass Amendment No. 1: An ordinance approving Amendment No. 1 to a residential planned zoning district entitled R-PZD 08-2898 SouthPass to amend the phasing plan, reduce the project acreage and density, rezone a portion of the property to RSF-0.5, amend Condition No. 10 regarding the $1 million contribution and change the name of the PZD.
