A dedicated truck route proposal to handle new gravel pit operations will generate 57 heavy haul dump truck an hour passing through Falkland. Two of the three options are: (a) "V" - Puttown/Falkland Rd, with a roundabout at Hwy#2. (b) "R" - green space between Falkland and Bishopsgate Rd. Falkland Village previously commercial/agricultural was in 2004 designated residential allowing for new residential properties. A Roundabout entering Hwy#2 from the Puttown hill is dangerous and impractical**.
Our property values have decreased now, even as our taxes have dramatically increased due to massive infrastructure in Paris. The residents of Falkland will suffer a loss of property equity ( for many, this represents a loss of retirement income) as a result of the truck route proposal. Two options have been identified:
(a) Expropriate properties on the west and east of Falkland Rd.
(b) Compensation for the loss of property values.
Alternate "G" is the easiest, most economical and ecologically feasible: eliminates the ?need for a roundabout at Falkland Rd. with the least impact on the village.
We. the undersigned oppose:
(a) alternate truck routes "V" & "R" as stated above.
(b) a roundabout at Falkland Rd. & Hwy #2.
We, the undersigned require either:
(a) acquisition of residential properties on the west and east side of Falkland Rd.
(b) compensation for reduced property values.
We, the undersigned, regard proposed truck route "G" as:
(a) the easiest, most economically and ecologically feasible.
(b) the least impact on the quiet village of Falkland and would: eliminate the ?need for a roundabout at Falkland & Hwy#2 & would impact fewer residences.
