Closing of full service grocery stores over last 15 years, or so. Neighborhood: multi-family housing along with single family. Transportation: more walking than in many areas of town; lots of bikes and cars; bus riders -- recently disrupted b/c of street construction. Getting to bus may involve going through construction. Parking lot BCBS might be used for a grocery store location. Parking lot sees limited use now. N border of community is 6th; East is Topeka Blvd; S is 17th St.; W is Watson Ave.
Economic or Environmental Interests
Community needs a full service grocery store. Walgreen's, Dollar Store, Family Dollar, and restaurants don't fill the gap.
Community Needs and Concerns
Limited food options: Walgreen's, restaurants, Dollar General w/some limited food selection, Family Dollar store also limited grocery. Small Tilton's grocery. Dillon's at 10th and Gage may be most accessible option but is very far away. Walmart at 6th and MacVicar also an option, but very far away. Limited hours of operation of buses make trips to get groceries prohibitively time consuming.
