Access more difficult now. Convenience is key as people are <br />commuting through the corridor. <br />Two grocery stores help. Should help with other leasing. <br />Improved traffic count and more roof tops should help. Signage and visibility is an issue. <br />The convenience for commuters is a positive. <br />Access is an issue. Expanded sports complex along Hwy 42 will help bring traffic. Appreciates <br />what city has done with complex. <br />What are your thoughts on why some retail spaces along South Boulder Road remain <br />vacant? Are they site specific or are there greater area wide issues preventing their <br />occupancy? <br />Visibility and signage is key. Signs are a sign of life. <br />8 <br />
