No 5X increase of afterhours quarry traffic on San Lorenzo Ave, Felton CA
The Granite Construction Quarry has proposed an extension of its mining permit to increase by 5X off-hours traffic through our community. The trucks already disregard speed limits, jake brake limits, and exhaust restrictions on San Lorenzo Ave. The quarry already has an exit on Empire Grade (that they don't allow anyone else to use) that can handle any additional needed traffic for their operations, merely making their trucks have to drive a little farther. This is an after-hours permit, for weekends and night times, when our community would be most affected. We are already heavily impacted during the day with noise pollution and air pollution, and any more is unacceptable and unnecessary, merely to increase their bottom line at the expense of our neighborhood. The quarry already is the major source of water pollution, air pollution, and noise pollution in our neighborhood, and the trucks exacerbate that.
