Road Controversy
Some controversy arose between Norfolk and neighboring Virginia Beach concerning routing into the future mall. Virginia Beach refused to allow construction of a Lake Wright Boulevard within their limits, to connect to the planned complex. Even with the proposal not requiring city money, concerns about traffic within Virginia Beach as well as commitments to the Burton Station neighborhood the road would have traversed were cited as reasons against the proposal. Instead, Norfolk officials chose to extend Wesleyan Drive north so as to keep all road work within Norfolk city limits.[5]
