Traffic has been a mess there since 1994 when the Food Lion opened. And the parcel it’s going on is empty. It’s not exactly forcing out anyone.

In my opinion the new light they put in earlier this year has made things much more congested. But yeah, fair point it’s been empty for a while, and even when Benny’s was super popular there it was never that crowded

In my opinion/experience, getting out of the Granite Hill neighborhood before that light went in was gambling with your life. People fly thru the Food Lion intersection, so making a left out at that intersection at Melbourne was a blind crapshoot.
