Stop O&G Industries from Relocating Its Concrete and Asphalt Recycling Operation to Cedar Creek
Final supporters
Dear Mayor Ganim and members of the City of Bridgeport Zoning Board:
The undersigned citizens of Bridgeport believe it is time to stop moving polluting industries to our neighborhoods. Specifically, we do not want O&G’s concrete and asphalt recycling plant moved to Howard Ave. Such a plant would:
- Reduce air quality
- Increase the asthma risk among children
- Increase likelihood of other respiratory diseases
- Pollute our waterways
- Create an eyesore next to Seaside Park
- Ruin recreational opportunities for the area
- Produce unwanted noise
- Create nuisance dust,
- Discourage more positive development
- Reduce property values
- Increase truck traffic
We strongly ask you to not grant O&G’s Special Permit request to release dust into our air and waterways, store hazardous materials in the open, and store materials in a Coastal zone. None of this conforms to our Master Plan, and O&G’s request disregards the common sense written into our zoning regulations.

Seeing this groundswell of support is deeply moving because my children play in these parks and deserve to breathe clean air. This community energy proves that we will not let our neighborhood be sacrificed for someone else's industrial expansion.

My kids play at Seaside all the time and I dont want them breathing in asphalt dust. Just say no to this permit.
Keep this toxic stuff away from our houses. We already deal with enough pollution around here without them dumping more dust on top of us.
Enough is enough. Our property values are already low and this is just gonna ruin the whole area for everyone.
What a joke. Howard Ave is not the place for a rock crusher. Who thought this was a good plan???
NO WAY. The noise and the dust would be unbearable. Think about the people living here for once instead of just the O&G profits.

Ridiculous idea. Trucks and industrial plants do not belong next to a park people actually use. Stop putting these things in our backyards.
