What Your Neighbors Said About QuikTrip After They Voted

Almost a year after the possibility of a QuikTrip relocation to the northwest corner of Manchester Road and Big Bend Boulevard, Maplewood voters are having their say.

The city council passed the resolution allowing a move, but some residents collected enough signatures to put it on the April 2 ballot.

Issues of student safety, driver safety, property rights, the best use of the corner, special interests, bad memories of the QuikTrip on the Hanley island and the importance of supporting the mayor and city council were among reasons voters gave for voting the way they did.

Several said it was good for the community for the question to go to a vote, no matter how it goes.

The polls close at 7 p.m.
