Gas station/c-store at Forest Hills Boulevard and Highway 80
Bossier City
Summary
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. Residents of the 540-home Forest Hills subdivision packed the hearing over traffic, flooding, crime, and notification concerns, though the developer says a new signal — at its expense — will cut the intersection's five-minute peak delays to under a minute.

Impact analysis
The developer pays for the traffic signal and turn lanes — improvements residents have wanted for years — but neighbors worry about road wear, flooding, and property impacts.
Commuters through the Highway 80/Forest Hills intersection get a long-sought traffic light, and the developer gains a fuel-sales anchor tenant.
Forest Hills residents say they bear the traffic, drainage, noise, and safety risks on their single road in and out.
