The Conshohocken Environmental Advisory Committee, a non-binding committee of Borough government, posted its minutes last night and there was a mention of the proposed Wawa. The minutes read:
Now that the community garden has been implemented, the EAC will focus on other pressing topics. Currently in play are a) The SEPTA proposed Electronic Billboard b) The proposed Wawa.
A couple who lives 200 ft from the proposed site (EF Moore Cheverolet) came to address their concerns. They wanted our future discussions to include:
- Increased gas fumes
- Traffic
- Trash
- Crime
It was mentioned that representatives from Wawa were at the Butler Pike Wawa collecting petitions in favor of having an expanded Wawa on the EF Moore site. They are free to do this but should qualify which of the petitioners were Conshohocken residents vs West Conshohocken vs Whitemarsh with a Conshohocken address.
It was resolved to open a discussion board on GreenConshy.org to collect the discourse of the residents and provide action items for the EAC to follow up with in the coming months starting with our next meeting.
So if you wan to get involved and discuss the proposed Wawa from an environmental perspective, email greenconshy@gmail.com.
