A Big "Thank You" to the Little Rock Board of Directors

Last night, the City of Little Rock Board of Directors approved an ordinance restricting parking in front and side yards to proper surfaces. The City has considered the measure for several years and did not enter into it lightly.

The change goes into effect this summer.

In Broadmoor, we will be able to use the ordinance as a tool to improve our great neighborhood by getting cars and trucks off of lawns and onto driveways.

We sincerely appreciate the efforts of the Board.

Broadmoor Public Relations Committee to Meet

The Broadmoor Public Relations Committee will meet on Tuesday, March 9, at 6 p.m. at 36 Rosemont Drive. We will discuss new and ongoing efforts to promote the neighborhood and determine target audiences.

Your input and involvement would be greatly appreciated!

Please let Anna Swaim know if you have any questions or concerns at anna_swaim@yahoo.com. If you have kids, bring 'em along!
