About 35 people attended Wednesday night's North Canton Planning Commission meeting, and many spoke out about their opposition to a GetGo gas station at Washington Square
Resident after resident stood before the North Canton Planning Commission Wednesday night and laid out why a GetGo gas station at Washington Square is a bad idea. The Giant Eagle gas station will be too close to a residential area and will decrease property values as well as the quality of life for residents because of the sights, smells and sounds associated with a gas station, they said. The gas station is unpleasant looking, it would be susceptible to robberies, there already are two gas stations in the immediate area, and it would increase the danger for those on the walking path, which runs along one side of the proposed station, they said. And it seemed by the end of the meeting, no amount of fencing, shrubbery or FuelPerks would …

Thanks Morgan...that's a horrible spot for a gas station regardless of the housing right next to it. It has no visibility from Market or Maple. There's a reason gas stations are usually at intersections rather than buried in shopping centers. more ›
