10.A) Preliminary Site Plan for the Cartwright Place Business Center Planned Development (PD), (Chick-fil-A) for a 6,110 square foot restaurant on 2.54 acres located north of Poplar Avenue, west of Bray Station Road and east of Cartwright Farm Lane, Case #233183 (Presentation by: Donquetta Singleton, Assistant Town Planner)
Poplar Ave has been primarily zoned commercial long before current residents opposed moved in. If you own a home on Bray, it is known that Poplar is the heartbeat to all things we do as residents. Traffic will not increase on Bray, as I already cut through Poplar View on to Bray when I exit current CFA location to go N of Frank Rd. The town engineers have done thorough studies of traffic patterns & would not allow this new location to be a hazard to neighboring streets. Full support for new CFA
My family is fully in support of moving Chick Fil A to Poplar at Bray Station. Having special needs children who love Chick Fil A, we are at Collierville location 4-5 times a week. The Southaven Getwell Rd. Chick Fil A would be an ideal placement/layout for the Collierville location to help manage traffic. We would also love to see a Chick Fil A location be built at Houston Levee and Wolf River, as this would be very close to our home.
100% support the move of CFA to the new location. It’s been needed for some time and can’t wait for the newer, bigger location. Owned by a great family that supports Collierville over and over. Time for Collierville to show support to them.
I oppose this site for CFA . There are better places for the CFA to relocate. This will create too much traffic and safety issues in the area, which does not have the appropriate infrastructure to handle this. It is just moving the problem down the street.
YES- CFA needs a new location. NO- This is not it. Move to an appropriate location for this high volume MEGA drive thru. It doesn't have to be here. Customers will come to wherever it is located.
This new location is much preferred over the current as it causes too much traffic in an already congested area. There would be fewer cars turning from Poplar due to the train tracks running along the south side preventing drives from businesses on that side. Our family already drives down Bray Station to get to the current location so that is not a factor for us. Potential for a longer drive thru would greatly reduce hazards for cars and pedestrians.
From young mom’s with toddlers that get to play on the playground on pretty and especially those yucky days, teenagers having a great place to hang out and eat, groups meet for Bible studies, to the older retired gentlemen that meet for breakfast and company. Chick-fil-A has always provided more than just great food it has been a place for us Colliervillians to have community together. The larger dining area, parking lot, and drive through will be great for our community as a whole.
Oppose-Moving it down Poplar doesn't magically solve the unsafe CFA traffic issue it just creates new ones. Bray, CFA's planned egress & a stressed 2-lane residential road, can't handle 100% of current traffic PLUS a daily & continual stream of 1200+ CFA cars. CFA heavy traffic will negatively impact approval of future developments nearby. The continual 1200+ CFA cars will block the flow on Bray and hinder emergency vehicles from safely reaching the residents in that area in a timely manner.
I support the relocation of Collierville Chick-fil-A for its increase in safety for employees and guests. The new location has been planned to work effectively and safely as it is putting in the work to ensure that the store entrances and car traffic are safe for the town.
We need this new location! The new building will allow for improved traffic flow in and out, and with the new and larger facility it will encourage more people to dine in than to use the drive through. As a mom I desperately want a Chick-fil-A with a nice play area to bring my kids without having to drive a major distance.
I agree the current location needs to be moved but Poplar/Bray is not the solution. Moving the location up a few streets to a residential area will not solve the traffic issues. Taxpayers will have to pay to widen the road/add a turn lane. This will increase traffic on Frank/Bray (narrow 2 lane rds) & will impact school traffic to WCMS as there are only a few options to get from Poplar to Frank. Bray/Frank 4 way stop is already a problem and this will make it significantly worse.
I live in a neighborhood north of Poplar on Bray Station and I support the CFA relocation. I already travel down Bray to get to the current location and I'll travel down Bray to get to the new location. Nothing to fear here people. CFA is America's favorite Drive Thru.
Collierville will not be ruined by its relocation. Please don't give in to the fear mongering. The sky is not falling despite what people are saying!
The owners of CFA have always been highly connected and involved in our Collierville community. I fully support the new location for CFA!

I support the relocation. It will ease the traffic safety concerns and allow to better serve the community.
