Dear Editor:
I read with dismay your article in the Dec. 12 Plant City Times & Observer regarding the Wawa gas station being erected on the land adjoining Starbucks on Thonotosassa Road.
This is a very dangerous intersection. The cars exiting from eastbound Interstate 4 clearly have a “Yield” sign facing them. Yet, rarely does one car yield to the cars on Thonotosassa. You are taking your life in your own hands to try to turn right into McDonalds or Publix. It seems as though all they want to do is get off the road, grab their cup of Starbucks and return back onto I-4 as quickly as possible.
Something will need to be done with this intersection, involving much work. This is an accident looking for a place to happen. There already have been several fender-benders there, and I hope that a serious accident does not happen.
