had some neighbors angry at a public meeting held Tuesday Bluecliff Holdings Inc applied to the Town of Hills to use a 10- site at the southwest corner of the intersection The asphalt plant would serve Halton Hills road con struction industry and would be under a threeyear contract a Bluecliff representative said But area residents are concern ed with traffic noise and dust from the proposed asphalt plant A lawyer representing Fred Hachman who lives across the street from the proposed asphalt site asked how many trucks would be travelling through the plant There would be one truck every four minutes or trucks a day said Bluecliff Holdings represen tative Ron Webb Neighbors said this would be too much traffic You look at Avenue you know what its all about said area resident Gunther Hoewing Our roads are not capable of handling this He said the areas roads are filled with holes and are not In good repair Bluecliff assured that trucks would stay on the main roads travelling mostly from Winston Churchill Boulevard to Highway 401 An extra to 80 trucks a day- would not cause undue stress on local roads Mr Webb said But a Tenth Line resident said she isnt satisfied that trucks will use the main roads You cant tell me that these dump trucks are going to use Steeles Avenue and Trafalgar Road What about these dump trucks roaring up and down the roads all day said Karen Ham- den The obvious roote would be right down our Tenth Line Other residents said the asphalt plant would ruin the entrance to Halton Hills Increased truck traf fic could be a danger to children and would add to removing the rural character of south Halton Hills said resident Louise ducci We moved here thinking it was a haven she said Now that has kind of been destroyed And the role of pollution from the asphalt plant is being underplayed Mrs said Town staff said the proposal for he asphalt plant would only be for threeyear term But Bluecliff Holdings could apply for a second temporary permit operated an asphalt mixing station at Highway 401 and Highway in Mississauga Even with increased traffic in the area there were no occurrences Bluecliff representative Alfano said The company offered the City of a bond for security Mr Alfano said he was willing to do the same in Halton Hills If peo ple werent satisfied with the plants operation the bond would cover costs The asphalt plant if approved would operate from am to pm five days a week from May to November council heard Materials from quarries would be mixed on the site and would be stored in piles no higher than about 20 feet Mr Alfano said The town limit is feet for piling materials the same size as a five- storey building representatives want to meet with area residents They say a meeting held by the company recently had a poor turn
