Also add a -------Costco. That would be awesome. Mix in Trader Joes and no need to leave town for most shopping.

Wegman's has been slowly creeping towards our area, I wonder if they'll try to give Kroger some competition in the burg.
Purple Haize wrote:Traffic will be unbelievable if Billy Craft becomes a mallYeah, I agree. 221 would need to be greatly improved and Breezewood Dr would need to be improved and likely need an overpass to the other side of 501 along with an additional offramp. The Lakeside/501 Intersection wouldn’t be able to handle it alone.

They should start extending Breezewood NOW to Graves Mill road so there is relief in that direction.Purple Haize wrote:Traffic will be unbelievable if Billy Craft becomes a mallYeah, I agree. 221 would need to be greatly improved and Breezewood Dr would need to be improved and likely need an overpass to the other side of 501 along with an additional offramp.

A new retail development would be advantageous to the city, because it might create enough traffic to warrant state funding for the intersection. As it stands, there hasn't been a clear enough need for improvements. The reality is that our traffic concerns will always take a backseat to Cville's, which will always take a backseat to the larger metros to the north and east.Sorry, can I get some further clarification on two points? You mentioned the proposal on graves mill. I assume your referencing that swath of land that's supposed to be mix use next to bella rose? Any details on when construction will start?
There has to be a good bit of land aggregation before the land the Billy Craft sits on is developed. Across the street, between Aldi and Wilco- that is already moving forward. The city has already sent a certification letter to Chick-fil-a and plans have been submitted to create a large single parcel out of the group that has been cleared.

CFA lot is directly beside Aldi.Not sure if this is 100% accurate, but I also heard that there will be another Chick Fil A alongside the sheetz and residential units going up on timberlake across from kroger. Along with wards and the mall, Lee will oversee the old forest road one, and someone else will be operating the timerlake location. Can anyone confirm the timberlake location?
