The Wal-Mart Supercenter is Back!

Last year the City Council rejected plans for a 207,000 square-foot Wal-Mart Super Center at Miles Field along Highway 99 at Center Drive. Now after months of secret meetings with city planning staff, Wal-Mart is trying to sneak its huge building into town without an adequate traffic study.

IT’S NOT OVER!

Residents and business owners must urge the City Council 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.

Medford Citizens for Responsible Development formed to organize opposition to the development, and is a grassroots organization of community residents and business owners is working to ensure public involvement in the process. Our goals are to raise awareness of the proposal and organize community involvement in the decision. Concerns include the impact on existing traffic problems, compatibility with adjacent buildings and effects on local business.

If we don’t act now we will have to live with the consequences of this development.

WE NEED YOUR INPUT AND SUPPORT!
