1445 Main (Extra Foods) - Removal of Parking Lot Lighting

A third of the parking lot lighting in the Extra Foods (the two lights closest to Inkster) have been removed and not replaced. Last year the acting/assistant store manager indicated that they weren't planning on replacing the lighting as vehicles don't park in that part of the lot. However this doesn't address the safety of pedestrians entering and exiting from the north side of the lot in the dark.

Nicole of Loblaws responded to enquiries of Loblaw's head office (1-866-999- 9890 or 905-459-2500) under reference No. 732-2337 early this year.

Lately one of the concrete pillars, which previously housed one of the lamp standards, has been encased in wooden crating, but plans to return the lot to the previous standard of lighting are currently unknown.

  1. Extra Foods seems to be doing minimual on everything. Even the cart storage was used and moved in from another location. The interior ceiling is falling down. I realize that it is not a AAA income store but perhaps their income would increase if they would put somthing into it. I am glad that they are there and I am glad that we have Safeway but these stores need to invest in the community.

  2. Further to the two grey concrete bollards on the north side the parking lot (which are, hopefully, awaiting installation of overhead lights, there's been at least one collision, as they're not well marked and below the radar to someone reversing.
