\t\t\t\t\"Expanding<\/a>Contracts haven\u2019t been finalized, and ground hasn\u2019t been broken, but the Eastbridge gas station is already expanding. In fact, the 20% increase in size of the station has caused a move to the larger north lot in the Eastbridge Town Center. \u201cWe ran some numbers, and we believe we can use the space,\u201d says King Soopers Designer Ryan Glynn. \u201cOur team made some adjustments, and we spoke with the other development teams, and now we have what we think will be appropriate space. However, it could continue to grow prior to the construction phase.\u201d\n\nWhat is shocking to Stapleton residents is just how big the gas station is. \u201cIt\u2019s half the size of the King Soopers,\u201d says resident Randy Miller. \u201cIs that normally the amount of space gas stations take up? How many pumps are they putting in there?\u201d Kamie Groth was equally impressed. \u201cIf you look at the specs, it\u2019s five times bigger than Williams Family Dentistry<\/a>,\u201d says Groth. \u201cIf the cost per square foot is equal, that is going to be one expensive gas station. How many gallons of gas will need to be sold to pay it off? A billion?\u201d\nSome residents are concerned Forest City and Soopers are secretly building a truck stop<\/a>. \u201cIf they are building a truck stop, which by the size of it, they are, there are lots of bad things that will come of this,\u201d said concerned resident Jim Kongshaug. \u201cPeople loitering late at night, more crime, loud trucks, extra pollutants, among many more negative impacts on the community.\u201d Kyle Scott says the giant truck stop gas station will impact what else is developed in the town center. \u201cWill there by a small, one night motel built in the center?\u201d asks Scott. \u201cThere could be a porn store or potentially an Indian casino. None of this would be good for the people of Stapleton.\u201d\nDesigner Glynn says at this point, the gas station is not a truck stop, just an extremely large gas station. \u201cThings can always change,\u201d says Glynn. \u201cIn fact, we hadn\u2019t even thought of that. Nonetheless, we are simply moving forward with the necessary 10 pump station, or I guess 12 pump station, we had originally planned.\u201d There are currently no plans on the timing of the signing of any contracts of breaking of any ground in the Eastbridge town center.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
