POINTS TO PONDER

Hello,
I know this is a hard fight for everyone who is against Big Box Stores. I have thought of other ideas you could use for your fight to keep Alden a small town.

1- traffic volume will increase on Broadway in both directions and especially on the East side of the village which can and will cause traffic problems in the village where there is a good amount of pedestrian traffic.

2- Do people realize that traffic will increase on other roads like, Town Line, Ransom, 2 Rod, 3 Rod, 4 Rod, and Sandridge Rd.

3- Another traffic signal would most likely be installed where the main drive of where this plaza would be which will impact the flow of traffic on Broadway especially during rush hour.

4- I know the proposed area is not a wooded area but, this construction would have the potential to remove areas where wildlife is which could cause more car / deer accidents.

5- If Mr. Russo wants to develop that area so bad with a Wal-Mart ask him if he would be willing to put in an Ice rink for Town and Village residents and an Indoor Soccer / Indoor Track Field House for the Alden School System in that area.

6- Are people aware that the is a Wal-Mart being build on Transit and William St in the Town of Lancaster?

I hope some of my input helps with your fight to keep Alden the way it is...........T.O.
