About 50 people attend a forum at Lakewood City Hall to discuss the proposal at the southwest corner of Bunts Road and Detroit Avenue.
Dozens of residents filled up the auditorium at Lakewood City Hall on Wednesday to discuss the proposed Get Go gas station at the southwest corner of Bunts Road and Detroit Avenue. The plan, recently presented to city officials by Giant Eagle, includes a 16-pump gas station and convenient store on the property that the Pittsburgh-based grocer once owned. Many in the crowd came out Wednesday night to express concerns about the proposal. Specifically, they shared concerns over traffic, pollution and lights from the building.

This comes after Giant Eagle’s proposal earlier this month to build a 5,600-square-foot brick building, with multiple gas pumps, at the property that it once owned.
