The city finally caved and blocked the project. Harlan Douglass and Wal-Mart thought they could steamroll our neighborhood but we proved that this community is not for sale. Stay vigilant because we have to keep watching them for their next shady move.
Whereas:
1. An application to build a 186,000 square foot Wal-Mart regional shopping center at 44th and Regal is currently being considered by the City of Spokane as proposed by Harlan Douglass, the owner of the property; and
2. Any such store of this magnitude catering to a region-wide market will have a profound detrimental effect on the surrounding residential community and its schools, including substantially increased traffic and decreased residential property values, and incur great harm to established businesses in south Spokane; and
3. Any plan by Wal-Mart to dramatically expand its impact on our region represents a major threat to the health and well-being of our entire city
Harlan Douglass and his team think they can steamroll our neighborhood with this massive regional shopping center as if our quality of life is just a line item on a profit sheet. I have been meeting with city planners all week and their lack of concern for the actual people living at 44th and Regal is infuriating. We are not going to let them turn our streets into a congested parking lot for a corporation that does not care about Spokane.

My property value is going to tank if they put that thing across the street. Not okay.

The traffic is already bad enough around 44th. We dont need semi trucks moving through our neighborhood all day long.

Go build it somewhere else. We like our quiet life on the hill.

Too much noise and too much traffic. This is a residential area and it should stay that way.

Seriously? The schools are already overcrowded. Where are the kids going to go when the streets are packed with shoppers.
