All of this stuff needs to be done whether Meijer comes here or not. The Warsaw Traffic Commission has been looking at that intersection for years. It needs work. Parker Street between U.S. 30 and Patterson Road is too short and too narrow. What Meijer has proposed is not unlike a solution discussed by our local traffic commission in the past.
Problem is, the city doesn t really have the bucks to pull it off.
Meijer has offered to foot the bill. All we have to do is say yes to them. Let them build a store here. And we say no. It makes no sense.
