  1. Is the replacement of the Monroe Ave Giant by Aldi Grocery a done deal? I visited the Aldi on Route 1 South and did not like it at all. It carries only about half the products of a similarly sized store, most are in large prepackaged amounts (good for a family of 10 maybe) and the prices were mostly about the same as Shoppers. This store will not serve our community well but will bring in people from other neighborhoods along with their cars.

    1. It is not a done deal yet. Planning Commission will be voting on this item at their June 2nd meeting, and I strongly suggest that anyone interested attend that meeting. Anyone can sign up to speak at the meetings, and that is often to most effective way to get your opinion heard. DRCA will be gathering comments from Del Ray neighbors for the next month, and then we plan to finalize our opinion on the request at our next Land Use Committee meeting which will be May 12. Then we will take our recommendation to the Del Ray Citizens Association membership meeting on May 13th where it will be voted on by membership, and the final draft will be sent to Planning Commission and applicants representative. Typically the way these parking reductions work is that the City is able to bargain with the applicant to get neighborhood or site improvements by allowing the parking reduction.
