Doesn't mean when re-zoning and planning for housing development that it couldn't have been planned to be adjusted for modern day needs and uses.

I know that back then property owners had more power which is why many state roads have series of 90 degree turns around property lines.

My family's farm was split through by an improved route 60+ years and there's no airport, Fortune 1 company, or cities anywhere close to here. Just because things were done one way a century ago doesn't mean it meets the needs of the future and shouldn't be tossed away instead of enacting sensible planning.

The alignment is the original alignment from 1926. Much of the road is within Tontitown, Cave Springs, Elm Springs may as well be in Boone County. Those cities don't zone shite and will allow any kum and go five access points on any road they want if it means a cent of tax revenue

Planning a two county principal arterial on a new alignment means access management, right of way preservation, etc. State issues, not zoning issues.

Good luck telling a developer to leave a 200' section of right of way through Farmer Bob's field for a new roadway that may never happen. You have to buy it if you want to preserve it
