More incidents of crime there after the total redesign of that center than any year prior. I never, ever heard of anything happening at Westbard before now. That entire area should be avoided. The new Giant stinks anyway. The old layout was much better.

The neighborhood is stuck with the poorly designed garage for generations to come. They've added speed bumps and stop signs to the ramps on each level to try and make it safer to drive.

There had to be better examples of how to design garage ramps.

The increase in crime is concerning.

The garage is poorly designed for ramp safety, head on collision hazards, but smartly designed for mugging, robbing and stealing.

You need a golf cart to get around inside the store.

Don't worry as we've been told from "official crime stats" that this is normal and we're just as safe now as we were in the last millennia. Then we'll get the Purple Line...

McCarthy noted that violent crime is up, especially carjacking, stolen vehicles and possession of weapons. “Those things are off the charts.”
