Summary
Wawa is building its third Goldsboro store at the long-vacant corner of East US 70 and NC 111, a corner residents have wanted developed for years. Neighbors worry about heavy traffic, the curve on 70, and losing access to their own properties when DOT adds medians.

Impact analysis
No direct city cost, but NCDOT-required road improvements include a right-turn lane, raised median, and merge-lane changes.
Shoppers and travelers on the US 70/111 corridor, plus the long-stagnant corner gets redeveloped.
Adjacent property owners worry their access could be squeezed by future DOT changes and traffic congestion may worsen.
