tailed what made the Creative Corridor such
a stand-out project, saying:
"Main street design is a grand challenge of the
21st century as urban neighborhoods seek
to create sustainable, resilient, and beautiful
public spaces. This project highlights what
careful design can contribute to the making
of place, not a lot of jewels or distractions,
but simple, clear, and elegant design of pub-
lic space. The emphasis on thresholds, nodes,
and shared spaces is exactly what urban de-
sign needs to engage"
THE FUTURE
As Stodola continues into his third term as
mayor of Little Rock, the moniker he gave
himself when he was first elected remains his
number one priority.
“My job is to make little rock the next great
city in the South,” he said. “That’s been a
motto I’ve used since I was elected. My job
is to continue with that effort and let people
know there is a tremendous location here in
the middle of the country.”
