We, the undersigned, oppose the plans to build a Wal-Mart discount store across from the Kroger plaza on S. Roxboro St. We have strong concerns regarding traffic, safety and property depreciation in this currently neighborhood-friendly corridor of southwest Durham. We urge the members of the Planning Commission and City Council to find alternative development options for this area.

The corporate suits at Wal-Mart think they can steamroll our neighborhood, but they are dead wrong. I am hearing from residents every single day about the disaster this store will bring to our streets. We are not backing down until the Planning Commission kills this project for good.

RIDICULOUS idea. Who approved this?? The intersection is already unsafe enough as it is.

traffic on roxboro is a nightmare already. adding a walmart is just gonna make it impossible to get anywhere in the afternoons.
