Yes, that is what had been happening near me. While we have at least 5 WalMarts, depending on which direction I go in, they wanted to put one more nearby, and there has been severe objection, but they really have picked a bad site....it's in the middle of what is currently an entirely residential area, even though it is on route 27, and there is a hospital nearby, and a very narrow bridge over Route 27. The objection is the usual (blah blah big box store etc etc), but the real objection is the traffic problem. The cross road is a small two lane road with a very narrow two lane bridge, and it really is 95% residential, so it's an odd spot. There are so many abandoned or underutilized shopping centers near by, on better roads, and locations, so don't understand why the one in question is needed. |
