CLIFTON PARK — As consumers increasingly try to squeeze as many shopping tasks into single trips, DCG Development Co. is proposing to build a retail and fueling center along the heavily-traveled Sitterly Road.

Building on its experience at turning the Clifton Park Center into an open-air mall, DCG earlier this week presented plans to town planning officials for a 25,600-square-foot mixed-used project designed for commuters on the go.

The shopping center, at the intersection of Sitterly and Crossing Boulevard, would increase traffic in the areas, so the Clifton Park developer has proposed a series of road improvements. Those changes would alleviate the flow of vehicles and save the town of having to foot the bill for such almost inevitable roadwork, DCG said.

On a 5.1-acre wooded lot across Crossing Boulevard from a self-storage complex, DCG wants to build a 3,600-square-foot convenience store with a drive-thru and five gas pumps. It is also proposing a 22,000-square-foot, L-shaped retail building.

DCG Vice President Donald MacElroy said the retail building might house a dry cleaners, coffee house and similar shops, “Things that people might be looking for on the way to or from work.”
