I live very close to the water treatment plant and I am very concerned about the currently proposed changes. We often get foul odors and it really impacts our ability to enjoy the community outdoors. I am concerned that the increased production at the plant will cause more odour.
I am also concerned about the increased truck traffic on Beechgrove. The truck drivers often do not obey posted speed limits and they have to cross through a cross walk that is frequented by children who go to the local schools, namely St Malachy and Wm G Miller. The cross walk is not attended by a crossing guard at any time of the day.
Finally, I am concerned about the health effects of increasing emissions in the area. I am an asthmatic and have difficulty breathing when the air quality is poor. I am concerned for all the residents in the surrounding area.
As an aside, I worry that this may also lower the value of my property for resale. We are retiring soon and are planning to sell our home to move out of the city.
Thank you for listening to my concerns and please consider moving this production to a less residential area.
