Residents of Moreland Road expressed strong concerns during a recent government meeting regarding the potential increase in truck traffic in their community, which they fear could compromise safety and quality of life. One resident, who has lived in the area for 13 years, emphasized that the neighborhood was originally intended to be a safe agricultural zone.
The resident articulated worries about the dangers posed by heavy truck traffic, particularly the risk to children in the area. \"If something happens down that road... the blood's gonna be on their shoulder,\" they stated, highlighting the potential consequences of increased commercial activity.
In response to these concerns, the resident mentioned plans to involve law enforcement to monitor traffic and enforce speed limits, as current conditions have led to significant disturbances in the community.
