# 2025-04 Castleberry ARDOT Right-of-Way Application (Case 941655) On April 3, 2025, Mayor Bart Castleberry signed the City of Conway's right-of-way application to ARDOT District 8 for fourteen Flock-Safety ALPR cameras in state-highway right-of-way. The signed application was submitted by Flock Safety's permitting contact Cody Boudreaux to ARDOT Permit Officer Tabie W. Richards the same day, opening the substantive case **941655** that would conclude with the issued permits in December 2025 / February 2026. ## What the application requested City of Conway letterhead, signed by Mayor Bart Castleberry, addressed to ARDOT: > *Re: Installation of Flock Safety Poles* > > *The City of Conway, Arkansas, is requesting permission to install infrastructure at fourteen (14) locations within the ARDOT right-of-way in Conway. The proposed locations are as follows:* > > *(enumerated list of 14 locations by Flock case-internal F# designator and intersection)* The list anchored 14 specific intersections — including Skyline Dr at O'Bryant St, S Harkrider St at Bronnie Ln, Dave Ward Dr at Diane Ln, E Oak St at Caskay Dr, Highway 365 at Bronnie Ln, S Donaghey Ave at Dave Ward Dr, and Oak St at Hamilton St. The application identifies the cameras as serving traffic / law-enforcement purposes. ## Vendor submission Flock Safety's Cody Boudreaux emailed ARDOT Permit Officer Tabie W. Richards on the same day (April 3, 2025 11:18 AM), with two attachments — `Flock letter.pdf` and `(ARDOT)00941655_CONWAY PD_3252025 (1).pdf` (the engineering exhibit, 9 MB). cc'd were Flock's Permitting Central Region group (`[email protected]`), Jordan Burt, and Skylar Lindner. The application package thereby reaches ARDOT in the same coordinated bundle: City support letter (Castleberry signature) + engineering exhibit (Flock contractor TJB's drawings). ## Significance - **Mayor Castleberry is named as the formal applicant on the right-of-way request to the State.** Conway PD is the operating user of the cameras; the **City of Conway, in the person of the Mayor, is the legal applicant** for the state-right-of-way authorization. ARDOT's subsequent permit issuances all address Mayor Castleberry directly. - **The Flock-Conway permitting workflow is vendor-driven.** Flock supplies the engineering exhibit, Flock submits the package to ARDOT, Flock manages the case-number-tagged correspondence. The City supplies only the Mayor's authorization letter. The City does not, in this corpus, document any City Engineer's review or any independent City-side engineering analysis of the locations. - **The deployment count (14 in this application) is smaller than the eventual June 2025 deployed total (26 cameras per [[CPD Strategic Reporting to Mayor's Office 2024-2025|CPD Future Goals]]).** The 12-camera gap reflects cameras in non-state-right-of-way locations that do not require an ARDOT permit. ## Sources - [[ARDOT Right-of-Way Permitting — Case 941655 and Permit SP-08-2025-0036]] — `(Case 941655) AR - Conway PD.pdf` contains the Boudreaux email; `2.11.2026_CPD_ARDOT_Special Permit_Flock Camera Locations.pdf` page 4+ contains the signed application. ## Cross-references - [[2025-02 Castleberry ARDOT Pole-Installation Support Letter]] — the precursor support letter. - [[2025-12-31 ARDOT Issues Permit P1948 (14 ALPRs)]] — the issued TCD permit ~8 months later. - [[2026-02-09 ARDOT Special Permit SP-08-2025-0036 Issued]] — the issued District Special Permit ~10 months later.
