A win-win for everyone
Editor,
A win-win for everyone
Editor,
The new design for Safeway proposed by architect Don Ionescu is a bold step into the future which could make the Safeway store the crown jewel of the Safeway chain ("New Safeway designs emerge" in the Dec. 23 edition of the Daily Journal). Why the grocer shows little interest in this design, which, by the way makes their store even larger than their original design, is beyond me.
This proposed store, if built, could be a destination for people to see what possibilities there are for the future. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, mixed-use is the future, and the future is now. There is no time like the present to start making the downtown area a sparkling area that will attract people.
Safeway would be smart to give this design a very close look. The people who heard the original presentation in the Lane Room of the Burlingame Library were most impressed with the overall plan. Many of these people were the ones who opposed Safeway's previous design. Now that this wonderful design is in the mix, it behooves Safeway to be bold enough to escape from the box store prototype and proudly lead Burlingame into the future. It's a win-win for everyone. Come on Safeway!
