The city council officially rejected the permit for the West Road Supercenter this morning. We will monitor the site to ensure the wetlands remain undisturbed through the duration of the zoning transition.

The West Road Alliance, a grassroots organization of concerned citizens, opposes a proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter at the corner of West Road and Beltway 8. The proposed site is directly across from Gleason Elementary and is also adjacent to the federally protected wetlands in the Willow Lake community. Our citizens have numerous concerns including increased traffic, decreased safety and flooding.

We are approaching the 250 signature threshold which I need to trigger a formal review request from the planning commission. Please direct your contacts to the campaign page today so we can finalize our submission to the city office.

I moved to this area for the nature and the quiet. A huge walmart will ruin the whole neighborhood feel.

WEST ROAD ISNT BUILT FOR THIS VOLUME. FLOODING IS ALREADY BAD ENOUGH WITHOUT MORE CONCRETE.

The traffic there is already a nightmare during school drop off. Putting a giant store right there is just asking for a tragedy.

My kids go to Gleason. The safety risk is too high. Find somewhere else!
