The Walkersville Planning Commission is negotiating with Rutters to allow a Rutters store to be built on 194, with attached road changes to Sandstone Dr and setback allowances. This Rutters store would include diesel gas pumps and encourage additional large truck usage on 194 and Sandstone Drive.
We, the petitioners, are opposed to a Rutters, and diesel gas pumps being built on the property. We do not want the commissioners or Burgess to allow or legislate road changes and changes in setbacks.
This type of gas station would encourage additional truck and road traffic on 194, additional overnight noise and usage, and be a detriment to the environment and quality of life in Walkersville.
Update #26 years ago
We need to continue our efforts to stop Rutters FROM DEVELOPING THE SITE ON 194. Next step is to attend the Walkersville planning meeting on 7/25 to express concerns. A Facebook page has been set up where information will be disseminated. PLEASE JOIN, SHARE AND PARTICIPATE.

An additional informational website (non Facebook) is currently being set up.

Update #16 years ago
Tomorrow, July 12 at 7:30 there is a Walkersville Burgess and Commissioners meeting at Town Hall. I plan on printing off the petition, with whatever signatures have been submitted, to present to officials at that meeting. Any residents who would like to attend, please join me! When I called the Town Office today, it was suggested that we come to tomorrow's meeting (as a group) to have our voices heard.
I will submit an updated petition later this month.
