Joplin City Council delays decision on rezoning for Chili's
I was pleased but also surprised that the Council tabled the matter to obtain more information from Chili's. It's unusual for the Council to take into consideration residential areas or safety concerns. But I just don't understand why popular restaurants insist on building where customers risk their lives getting in and out of their parking lots, just to be at one of the most congested areas of Range Line. Much as I would like to eat there, it's not worth the traffic frustration.
