STOP WALMART IN LITTLE EGG HARBOR NJ
Target:
Stop Walmart In Little Egg Harbor!
Sponsored by:
Little Egg Harbor cannot support the traffic that would be created by having this Big Box store located on Route 9. The traffic is becoming a problem already. This will also drive up traffic through our residential areas.
The environmental impacts will be runoff from the parking lots, light pollution at night, noise pollution from the traffic and garbage pollution. Parking lots tend to turn into dumping grounds for peoples garbage.
Our small businesses will be affected as well. Our local shops, garden centers and food markets rely on the local economy to stay in business. The addition of Walmart could cause these businesses to go under and create blighted areas by having abandoned strip malls and shopping centers around the township.
Think of the poor folks residing on Stage & Otis Bog roads. Their quiet neighborhoods are at risk. These areas of quiet, wooded neighborhoods are at risk to becoming noisy and polluted. Their view of the stars at night will be obliterated by the bright lights of this store. Would you want this in your backyard?
Do we want the overcrowding and traffic issues like they have in Manahawkin? If you agree, then please sign this petition and forward.
SAY NO TO CHEAP DANGEROUS IMPORTS!
Thank you!

We the undersigned believe that this proposed Super Center will be the demise of our small town. No longer will we have that small town community feel. We will be destined to realm of BIG BOX and Cul De Sac world and become a nameless, faceless town just like the rest of NJ. No more South Jersey charm. We also believe that this will give other Big Box stores carte blanche in ruining our town. Stop the madness. Thank you for listening.
We signed the "STOP WALMART IN LITTLE EGG HARBOR NJ" petition!

Walmart is a parasite on the American economy and the American image. They have made countless businesses go bankrupt, and treat their employees like dirt. America doesn't need another hell mart.

I grew up spending all of my summers in Little Egg. I'm devastated by the massive development it has already undergone, I can't believe the changes that have occurred. Traffic is already an issue in this town. We do not need more traffic caused by Wal Mart customers. This development will be further disturbing the ecosystem of the pines and creating mounds of trash. Local stores will suffer from loss of business to this superstore. Please, please, please do not build a Wal Mart here. There are so many people who live near by who probably love the peace and quiet they have, and their lovely view of nature. They will no longer be able to gaze at the stars because the bright parking lot lights will be so intrusive. Please think of how unnecessary this is. I pride myself in living in South Jersey because it is wooded and very natural in many places. If we keep this up we will be exactly like North Jersey; industrialized, unnatural, and, in my opinion, not worth visiting.

I agree with your letter. Putting up such a mega store on a two lane highway does not make any sense at all. Traffic is horrific now at Green St. and Rt 9, I can't imagine what it would be like if WalMart came into the area. Driving up to WalMart on Rte 72 in Manahawkin and the rest of the mega stores is not a bad drive, I'm pretty sure most people would agree to that.

We must do everything in our power to fight this - the very future of what we all came to love about this town is being threatened. If Walmart moves in our town will be ruined forever . Fight this like we fought to chase out the proposed strip club. Together we can amd must save our town. NO WALMART !

There are many reasons for Walmart not to be permitted to build here. Traffic, the way they treat their employees. The way they take care of their properties after the move into the area. Their total lack of concern for the town or its people when they come to build.

Traffic, and all related problems, has increased in our area year after year, many small businesses in our area have enough difficulty staying afloat- Manahawkin is only several miles away- why do we need another Walmart any closer?

Wal Mart parking lots are notoriously famous for crime; serious crimes. Abductions, sexual assaults, murders. It is a known fact that Wal mart will not invest any money into security in their lots. Can our town afford the additional resources due to this additional rate of crimes? NO. We don't need this here. Let them knock down their store in Manahawkin and rebuild it. Not in my backyard....ever. For crime stats see http://www.walmartcrimereport.com/report.html http://www.walmartmovie.com/crime_parkinglots.php http://walmartcrimereport.com/crimereport.html

It's ridiculous to put a Walmart here in LEH when there are so many "big box stores" located so close in Manahawkin! The landscape of our beautiful town has already changed too much over the past 10 years. KEEP WALMART OUT!!!

We need to put up posters and signs to get more people to the meetings. Everyone I've spoken with has the same thought process of .." why go to the meetings...it's a done deal...Somebody got payed off and nothing we can do will change it" It's NOT Over yet!! We can make a difference. I refuse to believe we don't have a voice.

Ugh! We just came from North Carolina. They let Walmart into their "small towns" too. It was such a dramatic change in traffic patterns, environmental impacts, and major crime - that people left homes they had lived in for generations. It was convenient-yes, but at what cost. It changed the whole atmosphere of the area. What drew us here from the "promised land" of North Carolina? You got it- the hometown feel of Little Egg Harbor. I sure hope officials listen to more than the supposed budget and tax helps that this store will bring. I listened to officials down south deeply regretting the decision they made. What they thought was going to "save" their town ended up destroying it. Sad thing is- once it's done, there is no turning back. NJ can't come into a Walmart parking lot and declare it a Green Space. They can't bring the small town feel back once it's lost. They also can't bring back the families that find its just too busy of an area to raise their familes in.

We really don't need a walmart in this town when there is one at times due to the traffic is an hour away and from Mystic to Manahawkin is only about 13 miles.So imagine what the traffic would be if one comes to our town.
