TAKE ACTION !

Medford Citizens For Responsible Development is committed to making sure our local government does what is right when it comes to issues of development and commercial expansion. Many Oregon neighborhoods have successfully stopped Wal-Mart stores. One key component of their success was strong community involvement. There are many ways for you to help ensure smart and responsible growth here in Medford.

1. Write a letter to your Mayor and Council members. Tell them you want responsible development choices for Medford and urge them to require Wal-Mart to conduct an adequate traffic study to analyze the impacts of almost 9,000 additional car trips per day in the already congested South Medford I-5 Interchange area.
