Preserve Royal Oak

@PreserveRO

Want to see a Big Box Kroger Superstore on Main Street in Royal Oak? Neither do we, but City officials are considering it. Follow to help us preserve our city.

Sorry for communication hiatus re: Royal Oak & Kroger. While we await Kroger's next move, here's a letter: http://cot.ag/lfWcZZ


Not sure. Anyone know? RT @askmurray: @PreserveRO is the meeting being webcast.


Public discussion now...


Thank you Royal Oak Planning Commission for asking Kroger some tough questions. If only @krogerco had answered them...


Planning Commissioner Hallock says Kroger "truck plan is a total stop for me." We don't allow using public streets like this in Royal Oak.


Royal Oak is an "underserved area for us," Kroger says. There are 17 within 10 miles! Corporatespeak and question dodging flowing freely.


Chuckles from the crowd as @KrogerCo uses the phrase "think outside the BOX..." Big Box anyone? #RoyalOak


Why are we even talking about Kroger's Grosse Pointe store? The proposed Royal Oak superstore is TWICE THE SIZE.


Now @krogerco is implying a 49k sq ft proposed Royal Oak superstore with its 23k sq ft store in Grosse Pointe. Not close to a fair comp


The "of Michigan" tally just went up. Don't patronize us by trying to portray Kroger as a Mich company that cares about #mi communities.


This must be the plan Kroger and "Barton Towers residents" came up w/ together at the phantom meeting an earlier speaker already debunked


Nevermind. Kroger's just going to gloss over the major hazard they'll cause by having trucks back up onto a public street.


Kroger is about to explain away the fact that it is marshalling trucks on a public street next to a park. Should be good...


2 driveways for 5000+ cars/day on the wknds. Sounds like a disaster. Wonder how a fire truck gets through that mess... #kroger


Kroger's architect is up. Not nearly as slick as the attorney who served as the opening act. #RoyalOak


Kroger "respectfully" refuses to move store's orientation. Implying they know what's best for Royal Oak better than the city does


Whispers of "you're such a liar" heard in crowd as Kroger describes its efforts to talk with neighbors before designing its plan.


Let's count how many time Kroger says it is "Kroger Company OF MICHIGAN." We're at 2-3 so far. Trying to mask that profits go to OHIO.


Kroger submitted a traffic study yesterday? That's convenient. Nothing like waiting til the last minute.


Kroger's up. Here we go. Let the corporate mumbo jumbo commence. #RoyalOak
