The Wheeling Planning Commission Monday signed off on yet another drive-through business in an already chaotic stretch of (st)road on Woodsdale. We argue that’s not great ‘planning’ for a few reasons.
Not saying I really disagree with anything you are saying, but every food establishment sells coffee. I think I can safely say Dunkin' Donuts is a Donut shop that sells coffee, as is Tim Hortons. Sheetz is a gas station, that like others, sells coffee. Why leave out Bob Evans and Perkins? Would I rather see something else go in, absolutely, and I'm old school or maybe just too cheap to pay so much for a cup of my preference black coffee so it offers nothing for me. However, not everyone stopping in this area for a morning coffee is headed downtown in any case. I am most concerned about pedestrians, including school kids, during the morning and evening traffic and the bank hasn't even opened yet. Thanks Justice, really appreciate your reporting.
