The Stratford Hills Neighborhood Alliance supports neighbors befriending neighbors. We support builders, not “developers.” We support thoughtful, careful, and artful construction which is compatible with the gateway to our residential neighborhoods and the James River Park System.

SHNA believes we deserve transparency and accountability from our public officials and a voice in decisions that impact the daily lives of residents and visitors to our communities. SHNA represents residents and friends of Stratford Hills.

Traffic and Safety Concerns

The proposed Sheetz at Stratford Hills on Hathaway (former Flowerama site) is in direct conflict with the city’s Master Plan.

The city must pause the permitting process for the Sheetz and conduct a full evaluation of its impacts on existing independent businesses, traffic safety, residents, and the future success of Master Plan implementation.

Gasoline Alley

BP, Tommy’s Carwash, WaWa, 7-11, Allen Tire, Dance’s Service Center, Forest Hill Garage, Advanced Auto Parts, Smiley’s Auto Glass, Valvoline Oil Change, and a Sam’s Carwash in the works, Adding a Sheetz to this busy intersection of Forest Hill does not reflect the city’s 2020 Master Plan’s vision for our ‘node’ that ”additional auto-related uses should be discouraged”
