Third Avenue is only going to get worse if Whole Foods has its way. The store planned for Third Avenue and 3rd Street will generate at least 1,500 new car trips a day, and the company has stonewalled community groups calling for the implementation of a sensible transportation-management plan intended to promote alternatives to auto-based shopping trips. When are local politicians going to take action? Kudos to Groundswell, T.A., and the young people dedicating themselves to this project.
