"Greater Liverpool has so much to offer families, seniors
and single residents. Location is at the top of the list of benefits. Within a few miles of anyone's Liverpool home is the best shopping at Carousel Mall, the best park in Onondaga County, and some of the area's most popular eating establishments, including Heid's, The Retreat, and Mother's. |
"The
biggest negative impact of a Wal-Mart superstore would be increased
traffic through the village. Already traffic is a major problem
during peak hours, and a
Wal-Mart
operating 24/7 just outside village limits would only greatly compound
the problem, to say the least. I would even predict that a
crisis situation would be created, since the village roads right
now can barely handle current traffic.
"Traffic congestion is going to affect all of those people who drive through the village to and from work every day.
"A second negative impact would be the adverse effect to businesses that residents in and out of the village now enjoy. Some business would be adversely affected by too much traffic going by, and some businesses will be hurt by the competition. Some businesses will be hurt by both.
"As for me, I would much rather keep the small business person around and maintain the more personal shopping approach. Shopping at Wal-Mart is a stress-filled experience because of traffic, packed parking lots, crowds, long lines, bad lighting, and low-quality merchandise. I do not want to give up my favorite shops and restaurants for that!"
