Another Walmart for the Westside?

[Overstreet]

The parking lot at the WalMart Market (grocery) that replaced Food Lion is usually full. Compared to empty it was after FL moved out.

TPO (actually the TRIP agency in this case) just voted to keep Parramore Rd on their list. CAC = Citizens Advisory Committee.

PLease, again I beg you to reveal the possible alignment of the extension..?

Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market

This is not a 100,000 square foot shopping center. Its a neighborhood grocery store.

I'm not sure what I said wrong....

You did not say anything wrong. Wal-Mart has a new concept of neighborhood grocery stores, the colors are green - jab at Publix - and much smaller footprints that the Wal-Mart Super Stores where they feature the crap, er, family goods on one side and grocery on the other.

I'd like to see more of the neighborhood stores, personally.

Walmart is moving forward now.

^ see....that new interchange (infrastructure spending) is already yielding economic development returns

Traffic will be a nightmare over there. Collins is only two lanes at that point. Have fun with that.

If the gas tax is extended, I believe Collins is one of the road expansion projects that will be funded by it.
