Mr. Shestak,
I am in favor of this gas station on Towne Road.
I was born living on West Road twenty-seven years ago, before West Clay existed. Seeing how the area has developed,
we think a gas station at this precise location is a fantastic idea! I have often been annoyed with the time it takes to get
to a gas station, and this new one would be so convenient!
Understanding that some of my neighbors are concerned about additional traffic and teenagers or idle people hanging
out at the gas station, I believe the CVS already does that. The CVS has all the same merchandise as a gas station
convenience store except gasoline, so the level of loitering likely will not change by adding this gas station next door.
Although 10% of robberies occur at a gas station or convenience store (per keepourvillageclean.com), there is already a
convenience store on the same block as the proposed gas station, and it does not see much crime.
Thank you for helping to plan the village so well, and for putting in a gas station where one is needed.
Take care,
Katie
