The
Little Rock Board of Directors voted Tuesday to grant
Chick-Fil-A a franchise over city right of way along Seventh Street and Broadway streets. The property includes an alley in the middle of the block, for what is to be primarily a drive-through business on property that once included a McDonald’s and a strip of older commercial buildings on Seventh.

City Director Kathy Webb, who attends church at nearby First Methodist Church, spoke against the ordinance. She said she lived near the Chick-Fil-A on Markham and noted the frequent traffic problems there. She worried about how the traffic flow at the downtown location might impact the church’s Child Development Center.
