A Target we don't need

Target Corp would like to build a new "Super Target" store on the southwest corner of Normandale Blvd and Old Shakopee Rd. The proposed "hypermart" would include a full-fledged grocery store in addition to all of the other stuff that you'd find at a regular Target. According the the Institute of Traffic Engineers' "Trip Generation Manual" a big-box retail store of this size (168,000 sq ft) would be expected to generate over 9,000 additional car trips per day from across a very wide market area.
