Please sign our petition to stop construcion of the Speedway Truckstop on SR9 just north of I-70. We are concerned about traffic congestion and safety. There is no value to the city or county in bringing a truckstop to this location. We also feel that a truckstop will impede further business development in this area from companies like Elanco. We would like to see a more positive business plan developed that includes businesses that benefit the whole community.There is a truckstop at ever exit between Indianapolis and Richmond except Greenfileld. We Don't need a truckstop here.

This is an absurd idea, that facility is not big enough. There may be a need and a desire to have a truck/diesel facility, but that doesn't make this facility the right choice. I have watched large trucks and the refueling tankers come in there. and watching they attempt to navigate their way around is almost comical. There simply isn't the room to do this there.
This is a residential and business park location. Fueling semis here makes no sense for the surrounding community. The congestion, aesthetics, road wear and safety concerns for both pedestrian and light vehicle patrons should all be reason enough to not allow Speedway to fue heavy trucks at this location.
I just don't see how anyone except speedway benefits from a lot more trucks. Congestion, road wear, diminished economic growth surrounding the area. I just don't understand any advantage to anyone living in the area.
Morning rush hour is already congested going south on S.R. 9. To make a left hand turn on 9 from 300N already takes a while in the morning. There is already a truck stop at the Knightstown exit & the Mt. Comfort rd exit we don't need one at the Speedway on 9
I think businesses like Kohl's or similar are needed in Greenfield before a truck stop from an economic standpoint..
Traffic is already bad trucks will only make it worse plus truckstops are breeding ground for crime traffic
We don't need another truck stop near Greenfield. This will only add more congestion to an already existing problem.

Husband is trucker and he says not Enough room for trucks to fuel or to get around the way the station is built ! Not a good spot for semi's and dangerous for everyone . When they had fencing around during winter we watched a truck hit the fence and get stuck in snow in the field next to station !
