Transport Terminal
Hello Mr. Szymczak and Windsor City Council
I am writing in regard to the possible proposed site at 2650 Metcalfe Street (west side of Drouillard Road, north of Metcalfe Street) for a new Transport Terminal to possibly be located at the above address.
I live very close to the above mentioned address. I have lived at 1374 Albert Rd. for approx. 12 years.
Of the many reasons I have chosen to remain to reside in this area is due to what this area offers such as being a quiet, peaceful, clean residential area to live in Windsor, Ontario.
With Ford City continuing to improve our community & our personal living conditions, I feel that allowing a Transport terminal to be allowed at the above location would diminish the excellent quality of life to which myself, along with my neighbours have become accustomed to living.
Our quality of life would definitely be compromised...not only would the noise of these large & small transport vehicles become unbearable but the dust & quality of air we breathe would be detrimental to our health.
In my opinion, having a transport terminal at this location would cause the air quality to be considered an ongoing pollutant.
The noise, debris, dust would likely be of a health hindrance to all who live near the proposed location. I also feel that the value of our properties would be lessened due to the above mentioned reasons.
i.e. noise/air pollutants.
The quality of life residents that live near/in this area would definitely be lessened. Not only for the many elderly residents but also for the younger children who live & play in the area.
I, respectfully request that this proposed Transport Terminal be located outside of mine & my neighbours neighbourhood.
Perhaps an area that is not in a residential area would be a safer choice for a Transport terminal.
Yours to oblige,
Dixie Johns
