THIS PETITION IS FOR WINCHESTER RESIDENT ONLY.  We thank you for your participation and support!


Please visit nomegacvs.com for more information.


CVS Caremark Corp. is proposing to demolish 3 existing standalone structures and combine the parcels of land to build a CVS mega store at the corner of Washington Street and Swanton Street in Winchester, MA. If this project is approved by the Town of Winchester Zoning Board of Appeals, construction will begin late this spring. 


The scope of this project is not in accordance with the character of the neighborhood. A commercial building of this size (12000 sq ft.) will further complicate the existing traffic congestion on Washington and Swanton Street causing significant delays to Winchester Hospital (safety concern), the Transfer Station, Muraco School, St. Mary's Church, Rt. 93/95 access, etc. Safety concerns include increased crime, increased traffic, 55 ft. delivery trucks navigating residential neighborhoods, risk to children walking to schools as well as pedestrians walking to town center, train, etc. 


Please join the initiative to protect Winchester from mega stores! IT’S NOT TOO LATE!!!


FRIENDLY REMINDER: please check the "Show my name in the online signature list" so the signature is collected. Anonymous does not serve the purpose of this petition..  We appreciate your understanding.

CVS Caremark continues to ignore our neighborhood concerns while they push to destroy our local character for profit. I am in contact with planning officials to demand they recognize the gridlock this monstrosity will create near our schools and hospital. Do not let them think we are going to roll over and accept their reckless construction plans.

The momentum we have built makes it clear that Winchester refuses to let CVS ruin our neighborhood. CVS Caremark Corp. thinks they can steamroll this town but they are dead wrong. We are forcing them to pay attention.

My kids walk past that corner every morning. Way too dangerous with 18 wheelers turning there.

The traffic is bad enough right now especially near the school. Why would they ever approve this?
