Wal-Mart is not welcome in our neighborhood

June 01, 2011

Dear Councilman McMahan:

Wal-mart is attempting to build a super store in our neighborhood at Emmorton Road and Bel Air South Parkway. We do NOT want this store in our neighborhood. They would not be good for our property values nor provide anything positive to our environment. They are projecting 500 cars an hour traffic flow that I think is an underestimate. But even at 500 per hour would require massive upgrades to the infrastructure and traffic expansion. This is not a good thing for us. We do not want this kind of traffic in our community. Also there is the issue of a 30-acre parking lot where there have always been trees. This would damage our environment.

We elect you as our representative to look out for our interests. Please do what is needed to not allow Wal-mart into our community. There is a new Wal-mart in Fallston and that should be enough.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Gary Ambridge
