I understand that there has been a request for land development made in connection with the land known as “Tank Car Corporation” located on Walnut Avenue in Oreland, Pennsylvania. I understand that this land development request has been made for the purpose of storing/operating a bus company on the land known as “Tank Car Corporation” located on Walnut Avenue in Oreland, Pennsylvania. I would like this application for land development to be denied. I would urge the Commissioners of Springfield Township, the Zoning and Planning Committees and any other Committee of the Township involved in this decision, deny this application for land development.

I am honestly a bit stunned that five hundred people have put their names behind this. This movement is truly yours and I am just humbled to be watching it grow.

I really thought this might just be a quiet local issue, but the way you have all stepped up has completely humbled me. Seeing this groundswell of interest shows me that we are not alone in wanting to protect our neighborhood. This momentum belongs to every person who decided to speak up.

Why grant additional buses to this company. They are not a good neighbor. They have already been cited for too many buses on the current parcel. On many occasions their buses block Pennsylvania Ave so their buses can make a left turn into their location. We do NOT need MORE buses from this bad neighbor.

Our very norrow streets, children already dodging speeding cars and other busses to get to there bus stop. We can not take the multiple busses and exhaust fumes going up and down our narrow streets.

This facility will add no value to our community. It will only increase traffic in a residential neighborhood and potentially cause the release of contaminants from a Superfund site laden with residual solvents, metals, PCBs and aromatics. Will that dust be good for the kids riding those buses?

Please don't ruin our community. He has the right to have a business, but we have the right to continue our way of quiet life. We've been here "forever"; there is a large lot in Fort Washington he can use - totally industrial!

The buses in thier presnt location is bad. Moving them into a reidential community is worse. I have wittnessed the bus drivers going through the red light @ bridge street and @ North Hills Ave. Some of the bus drivers are aggressive drivers. It is not worth putting the saftey of our community @ risk.

i am near the buses now. They are constantly beeping their back-up alarms and are extremely noisy. They have bright flashing lights on top of the buses that flash into my bedroom windows. These buses need to be out of our township. They don't even serve our community!

Oreland and Walnut Ave. are extremely too small for a bus depot!
