During the recent City Council meeting on September 2, 2025, in Englewood, Colorado, significant discussions centered around changes to the parking lot configuration at a local Chick-fil-A restaurant. The council addressed concerns regarding traffic flow, confirming that the parking area will transition from a two-way to a one-way circulation system. This change aims to enhance safety and streamline access for customers.

Council members discussed the implications of limiting access from the Alcona side to drive-through traffic only, while still allowing entry from the Acoma side for parking. This adjustment is expected to improve the overall experience for patrons visiting the restaurant.

The council also opened the floor for public comments, but no residents signed up to speak on the matter. Following this, the council moved to close the public hearing, with a unanimous vote of 7-0 in favor of the motion. The decision regarding the Planned Unit Development (PUD) related to these changes will be revisited in a future meeting scheduled for September 15.

As the council continues to address community needs, these parking lot modifications reflect a commitment to improving local traffic conditions and enhancing the dining experience for residents. The upcoming meeting will provide further opportunities for public input and final decisions on the proposed changes.
