Wegmans entrance waiting for new signal
When will the traffic signals come down on the Massaponax Church Road bridge?
Date published: 7/6/2009
CALL IT THE Free Lance-Star reporter Emily Battle, who covers the city of Fredericksburg, was fielding questions all last week about the opening date for a connector road between Wegmans and Fall Hill Avenue. The road is part of Gordon W. Shelton Boulevard. It runs past a PNC bank and leads to the Wegmans parking lot before intersecting with Carl D. Silver Parkway. Battle updated readers on her fredericksburg.com blog, City Beat. Battle learned that the road can't open until a traffic signal is installed by the Silver Cos. at the intersection of Fall Hill Avenue and Shelton Boulevard. "According to Charlie Kilpatrick, Silver's vice president for commercial construction, the developer is still working to get easements on the land across Fall Hill Avenue, which it does not own, so that it can install parts of the traffic light there. This light will be designed to accommodate the future development of the land across the street, and the planned widening of Fall Hill Avenue, whenever that happens," Battle wrote on City Beat. "Kilpatrick said Silver is still in negotiations to get those easements. He wasn't sure exactly how long that would take, but once the developer has access to the property, it should take about three weeks to build the stoplight. After that, the intersection should be fully functional for left and right turns," Battle wrote. Dear Kelly: The lane markings northbound on Sanford Drive at the intersection with U.S. 17 in Stafford are confusing. There are arrows for right and left turns, but the center lane is unmarked. Drivers are turning in both directions from the unmarked lane. When drivers use the unmarked lane and turn right they sometimes cut off drivers who use the right turn lane to access the interstate or to get to the middle eastbound lane toward Falmouth. Can this be corrected? --Don Mohr, Stafford Yes, it can and it will. A work order has been submitted to mark the center lane. VDOT reviewed the lane markings at the intersection and agreed they were not clear, said VDOT spokeswoman Tina Bundy. Look for markings in the center lane very soon.

Occupancy Permit

You can't get an occupancy permit on a home until all of the details are taken care of. If they did not let them open the store until the light was working I'll bet between Wegman’s and Silver Company it would not be an issue today. We need to hold Silver Company and all developers to task for completing all of the necessary details before we allow occupancy. If the light was not required before opening the store then the city was remiss.
not as awful as their meat!

I always get a kick out of the commercial on tv, with the woman who brings home steak from Walmart. You know which one I'm talking about? I wouldn't buy a steak at Walmart if it was the last steak on earth. Worse than their produce. (Although there aren't bugs flying around the meat.) ;)
i havent been to wegmans, but...

Walmart's produce is awful! I went in there to find tomatoes to make a vegi tray and most of them were rotten and gnats were everywhere. There was an awful odor of rotten vegis. It was ridiculous! I hear wegmans is really nice, but i think i will wait until it's no longer a novelty... I dont like long lines...
Whoa!

Life, I just realized I didn't read the last line of your post. Wegman's is $2 less for milk? You sure about that? The prices I stated in my last post were for Great Value at Walmart vs. the Wegman's brand milk. Those were the prices I paid for each, within the last week. Which milk is $2 less? Curious.

I've seen people post on here a couple of times about Wegman's great milk price. I paid $2.08 for a gallon at the Southpoint Walmart. I believe I paid $2.18 at Wegman's last Friday. A great price, sure, but still less than Walmart. Did I miss a coupon or something? And yes, I had the shoppers value card thing.
