Electronic changeable message signs
If you have an opinion on how the use of electronic changeable message signs should be controlled in North Little Rock, now is a good time to contact our aldermen. Their contact information is:
Charlie Hight chight@northlittlerock.ar.gov 758-8396
Murry Witcher mwitcher@northlittlerock.ar.gov 835-0009
Contact information for other aldermen and alderwomen is on the City of North Little Rock website www.northlr.org
These bright, programmable signs with messages that can change every few seconds can adversely affect the appearance on our neighborhoods and community and can possibly be distracting for drivers.
A work session has been scheduled for the aldermen and alderwomen on Thursday, August 6. They will be trying to draft an ordinance by the end of August to regulate the installation and use of this type of sign . This would enable them to present the draft ordinance at City Council and have a public hearing in September.
On April 27 the City Council voted to place a moratorium on this type of sign and prohibit installation through August 31, while they work on an ordinance. They have since extended the moratorium through September 30.
Don't miss this opportunity to express your opinion, while this ordinance is being written.
Thank you,

Also, Aldermen Murry Witcher and Charlie Hight said they will attend.
Due to limited parking space, we ask that everyone walk to the event. Please call for a ride, if you need assistance getting there. Also, please bring a lawn chair.
NEIGHBORHOOD GET-TOGETHER ON NATIONAL NIGHT OUT - August 4, 7:00 PM
We are inviting all our neighbors in Lakewood Northeast and Lakewood Heights to get together Tuesday evening, August 4, as our neighborhoods participate in National Night Out. Come and bring the family.
We will meet at 4533 Purnell Drive at 7:00 PM for a group walk through our neighborhood. After the walk, around 7:30 PM, we will have ice cream on the front lawn at that same address. This is the home of Kevin and Julie Nichols. If you want to come for ice cream only, that’s fine.
Ice Cream will be provided by Northeast Lakewood Associated Neighborhoods. Everyone is asked to bring a lawn chair to the ice cream social. We have asked permission to close Purnell Drive to traffic. Therefore, we ask that you walk and not drive to the get-together. We will provide a ride to anyone who needs assistance getting to the ice cream social.
This will be a great opportunity to get better acquainted. Hope to see you there.
