It has been brought to our attention that there is a proposed development of a major truck service centre at the corner of Pinebush Road and Townline Road in Cambridge (the Florida Travel Centre has been sold and will be demolished). We are creating the following petition for those of you would like to join us in protesting a service centre of this nature being constructed at this location. This petition is not to imply that we don't want this "in our backyard"; however, it is based on the valid reasons outlined below: HEAVY TRAFFIC -There are 4 sets of traffic lights in this area on Townline road. Traffic already backs up on to the off ramp of the 401 onto Townline due to these lights, creating gridlock during peak traffic times. -Increased traffic and slowdowns will adversely affect those companies in the industrial development area -This IS NOT a full "clover leaf" exit and will be inable to safely handle the increased traffic from transport companies. SAFETY ISSUES -increased noise, slowdowns and safety issues for the near by housing developments.
I honestly cant believe how fast this has grown and it really shows people feel the exact same stress about the traffic at that intersection as I do. It is wild to think about how we started this thing because of a simple frustration and now look at where we are actually going with it.

This area is already dangerous enough with the high school kids driving around. Put this somewhere else.

my kids play at the park nearby. no way we need more pollution and huge trucks idling right next to our homes.

Enough is enough. The city needs to stop approving commercial dumps right next to neighborhoods.

traffic there is already a nightmare. you sit at that light for 10 minutes at 5pm. adding semis is just dumb.

Total disaster waiting to happen. The 401 ramp is already backed up to the highway on some days.
