Forest Village fuel-sales relief
Bossier City
Description
Relief from a self-imposed no-gas-station restriction on an already B-3 tract, so an Exxon c-store can sell fuel; contingent on a favorable amended traffic study.
Impact summary
Brings a signalized intersection cutting peak delays from five minutes to about 30 seconds, but residents fear traffic, flooding, and crime on their single neighborhood road.

Forest Village LLC wants to lift a self-imposed ban on fuel sales at an already B-3-zoned corner, adding an Exxon c-store.
