Before I begin, I just want to state my Delaware Valley bonafides, I love The Wawa. That said, and it is probably much too late on this topic, but Wawa is building a store opposite the Concord Mall. They are building it on the northwest corner of Route 202 and Rocky Run Parkway – it used to be Leon’s Garden World and it is adjacent to the same shopping center as Shop Rite.
Given that Delawareans cannot cross streets properly and bad planning, it really doesn’t seem like a great idea to build a Wawa across the street from the Concord Mall. It’s like they want to create pedestrian traffic. With a speed limit of 50 miles-per-hour on Route 202 and only one crosswalk, I guess Delaware is looking to thin the herd Darwin Award style.
Hopefully, Matt Meyer, the New Castle County government, and Wawa can look into this some more to make this intersection safer for pedestrians.
