The Monroe City Council voted to restrict the site plan to 80,000 square feet today. We successfully secured the mandate to prevent the larger store from moving forward. I will continue to monitor the final site development documents to ensure the city holds the developer to these new terms.

SUPPORTERS, NEIGHBORS and RESIDENTS’ PETITION AGAINST THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 155,000SF WALMART STORE IN THE NORTH KELSEY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
Final supporters

January 4, 2011
I have spent the last few days reviewing municipal land use codes to prepare our formal request for the Monroe City Council regarding the North Kelsey site negotiations. We are currently drafting a letter to the planning department to demand a public inquiry into the initial purchase price of the lot. Expect a summary of their response once I have received it.

155k square feet is way to big for that lot. keep it small or go away. monroe doesnt need more gridlock.
Build something else. Nobody wants a massive walmart right next to the theatre. ridiculous.
NO WALMART. Traffic is bad enough as it is. Think about the residents for once instead of just the tax revenue.
traffic is already a nightmare over there. we dont need a giant box store making it impossible to get to the movies or the bank.
So tired of these huge corporations pushing us around. We already have enough empty retail space. Protect the local businesses!

what about the shady land deal? city council needs to come clean about what they knew before letting this happen.
