What businesses you would like to see in White Oak/Garner?

I agree

 

Sweet Tomatoes

 

I'd like a decent weekend breakfast place - someplace fun like you'd go to at the beach. Not a Dennys/IHOP/Waffle House/Cracker Barrel kind of place. The diner in Clayton is always crowded (and I hate sitting on the right side and being able to see right into the bathrooms). I enjoy Big Steve's, but it's a little out of the way from Clayton.

OK so honestly I'm not sure what I want - just something different right here near home.

 

I'd like some more traffic lights installed to ensure better traffic flow. This weekend it was insane, simply because you couldn't get in or out.

 

big ed's in raleigh is a easy commute on weekends and is a destination for breakfast. courteous & efficient wait staff, best grits in the triangle and reasonably priced.

 

There's always going to be a ton of traffic around Christmas, no matter what you do to try to fix it. Plus there are already plenty of traffic lights at White Oak, where would you like to see more?

 

there has to be a way to get traffic out the back of white oak. off timber drive. for example, look at photo. vacant land between bj's and theatre. getting traffic to loop off i-40 headed to clayton would be a start and no bridge, etc. may be environamental issues i am not aware of. 6 mussels, etc. lol

 

The vacant land you speak of is land that is waiting for a tenant to lease. There's a proposed 3 or 4 more buildings to be built over there.

The plan has always been to connect Timber to Greenfield Parkway at the back of White Oak so you can loop around back to 70, with a bridge going over I40. That is probably like a $5M project at least.

I believe there was also a plan to improve Salt Hill Road from White Oak Road to Timber by the new apartments. But the residents on Salt Hill obviously don't want that. It's probably only a matter of time before they sell out to developers.

 

missing at least 1 traffic light coming off of 40 east bound onto 70

 

I had ENT appointment at White Oak this afternoon. If you can avoid this area I highly recommend you do just that. Christmas shoppers galore. LOL

 

This would be great: http://www.brigs.com/locations/durham/

Or for "lighter" fare

Briggs is good but damn 15.00 for breakfast.

 

A vote for the McDonalds value menu?

 

Nope not at all.

 

It's very good and everyone gets a huge portion. I believe it is well worth the price.

This is near the Briggs location in RTP, but has THE best version of eggs Benedict ever. Eggs Dublin which adds corned beef to the mix. Less expensive than Briggs.

I actually like this better than the versions from Guglhupf.

Thanks so much. I am tired of Guglhupf's and have been going Brigs, but Brigs is always so packed.

I did also recently find this document showing the connection of Greenfield to Timber. But most of what I could find shows that they plan to build it sometime between 2015 and 2025.

 

Thanks. It looks like Timber drive splits and goes up to Jones Sausage Road. I see Vandora Springs gets extended to 401. I did not know that. I wonder which route that is for I-540
