Steve Byrd said they would be able to make their way around vehicles waiting in line to turn left.

Yes, there would be a parcel left for future development between Sonic and ALDI. It would be slightly less than 1 acre in size, and access would be via a frontage road extending from either or both the Sonic site and the ALDI site.

This helps very much. With all of this traffic changing, I wonder what Chief Bailey thinks of this? Have you heard from our Fire Chief about servicing the building in case of a fire?
