Comment text

I am a resident in the impacted area.  I am concerned that the proposed favored option did not account for public feedback given to date.  It will result in unacceptable impacts on the local communities, especially from re-routed truck traffic.  These impacts include air quality, noise, vibrations, loss of the main recreational infrastructure in the area, because it would be surrounded by heavy truck traffic instead of a scenic parkway.  Destroying natural areas to facilitate endless hunger for one more traffic lane is not good governance and is not responsible use of public funds.  Moving unhealthy truck traffic from one community to another without improving the problem is immoral and an unacceptable impact of this proposed project.  Investing a large amount of taxpayer funds to simply shift truck traffic to another residential community is nonsensical.  If the investment is to be made, it should move trucks out of the city.  Truck through traffic should not be allowed inside the city at all, that is what would reduce impacts most of all, consider that as a primary option, please.  Impacts to Montfort hospital are also unacceptable.
