Gaslight would benefit from increased restaurants (breakfast, lunch, family friendly dining, deli, etc.). Every time we want to go to lunch we head out of the area. We definitely need a new pharmacy too – D&W doesn’t cut it. And how about a bookstore? I’d also love to see the area developed into family friendly spaces as well as more gathering places for teens.
The lack of parking is a huge issue, especially during events. No one wants to pay – the garage is inconvenient (it gets incredibly backed up when leaving after an event, which is a huge disincentive), and it would be nice if we could offer more free parking so that the D&W lot isn’t so congested. The D&W lot is a disaster. Between distracted teens on their bikes/scooters, distracted drivers and the large number of cars, I am in an accident nearly every time I go in the lot (or see a close call). The strip mall, itself, needs a major refresh.
