Reply to comment by jt_tesla in Providence approves initial plans for 5-story, 1,400-unit self-storage complex by cowperthwaite

The only positive I see is that it won't add a ton of traffic. I hate that it's a BS storage place, but imagine if it was a Chick Fil'A.

That intersection at Branch & Route 1 already sucks - entering/leaving Nikki's Liquors especially. A real traffic generator would be distruptive.

You can get into and out of Nikki's from the street behind and it really makes it much easier

I agree with you. There isn't much that can open in that spot that would be better. There is already a strip mall next door with open vacancies. I hope the entrance is on Dryden Ln too so it ensures that no traffic builds up.

Right now, that building looks abandoned and is just a box. If anything will move there and make it seem less run down the better.

I don't think there are any vacancies in that plaza and it was only built like 3 years ago

Yeah you're right! I took a look on google maps to see the building and mistook the lifespan tarp as an empty building.
