On August 1, the planning commission of Bentonville, Arkansas will vote on a 650 unit apartment complex being proposed to develop in the open 27 acres between the tennis courts and Legacy Village in Memorial Park. Please sign this petition to help us stop the proposed apartment complex next to this beautiful park.

This proposed apartment complex will no doubt be a large overshadowing and out of place development adjacent our town's most prominent park. The traffic study calls for 4,700 additional cars flowing through J Street and JohnDeShields Blvd. Imagine how our kids will safely bike, play, and enjoy the park with 4,700 more cars driving through. Imagine the school next door and how parents will safely get kids to and from school with 4,700 more cars each day. All of this is easily avoided if the planning commission represents the voice of the community and votes against the proposal.

We will continue to engage opposition to this proposal as-is and look forward to the next city planning meeting on August 1.
