ZONING BOARD TO ADDRESS RICHMOND CHICK-FIL-A

(Richmond, IN)--Chick-fil-A fans are still buzzing about the fact that Richmond’s former Steak-n-Shake on National Road East will become that popular chicken franchise.  There has been no publically announced projected opening date.  When the issue goes before the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals in a couple of weeks, there will be five issues on the table regarding space and parking.  Although not on the agenda but still in question is the issue of traffic flow.  There’s limited space exiting the restaurant onto West Eaton Pike, especially for those turning left onto U.S. 40.  There are 59 projected parking spaces and a two-lane drive-thru.
