Disperse grocery stores

Why do we need grocery stores only three blocks apart in the Valley?

There is already one at Argonne and Trent and another at Argonne and Mission. The new Tidyman’s would be halfway between.

How can anyone truthfully believe the traffic would not be affected when the construction starts on the train tracks and Argonne?

Approximately half the time already it is bad, really congested.

Living between Argonne and Pines, I can go to six grocery stores; a couple more miles about half dozen more. We really have a choice!

Badly needed is a store about Altamont and Sprague - not in the residential part to take away the low income housing. Margaret Sly Spokane
