re: UPDATED: Yes, Wal-Mart is Eyeing Hayden Island for New Stor
Sam, find a reasonable and workable solution for the people and the businesses in our area. Thats what you get paid the big bucks for!
I live in Mariner’s Loop off of Marine Drive and regularly shop on Hayden’s Island. Well, what that really means is when I can get across the bridge before a major accident occurs. That means going at strategic times of the day on certain days. Let’s put the names Hooters and Wal-mart aside and first find a way to relieve the traffic congestion. As it stands today, the traffic congestion to get to the Island is a big problem. Given the insufficient transportation structure, it’s unfortunate that the area is unable to sustain new businesses and jobs. Last but not least, can the Island itself sustain the proposed growth?
We need a real solution!
