Who was the greenway planner that didn’t think that a shopping area and greenway wouldn’t need more parking? And why did the shopping management allow more retail there without considering parking needs?
It sounds like the Touchstone shopping center could benefit from some business/visits. Why not try that route…does the Touchstone neighborhood really want the crime and eyesore that comes from a desolate shopping center? (They are feeding feral cats there, to give you some idea of how empty it is!)
Just because a parking lot is needed, should it be built? What about the runoff into the creek, using tax dollars, and traffic concerns?
As for Glynmoor Lakes, Herman Moore donated that land to the county AFTER homeowners purchased lots there and were told it was to remain untouched. (So much for “pledges”.)
