Little Rock and North Little Rock are connected by the River Rail streetcar operated through the Rock Region transit system. Zoning along the streetcar corridor encourages walkable, mixed-use redevelopment, especially in River Market and downtown.
The River Rail streetcar, operated through the Rock Region transit system, links downtown Little Rock with the River Market, Clinton Library, and North Little Rock. Properties along the route are commonly governed by Planned Zoning Districts and design overlays oriented to walkable, mixed-use redevelopment. There is no formal transit-oriented density bonus statute, but staff and the Planning Commission look favorably on proposals that activate frontage, add residential above ground-floor commercial, and reduce surface parking near the streetcar. The Master Streets Plan reinforces this with sidewalk, crossing, and tree-canopy standards along the corridor.
There are no special transit-zone penalties; failure to meet site plan or PZD conditions tied to a transit-oriented project triggers normal zoning enforcement.
