Residents urge council to act on quarry blasts and truck traffic
Summary
Public commenters raised concerns about quarry blasting on borough property, truck traffic on Kennedy Avenue and property damage; the mayor and council said they would follow up with zoning enforcement and resident meetings.
Several residents used the July 14 public comment period to press the council on local nuisance and safety issues connected with quarry operations and neighborhood road damage.
Jane Kroger of the Ogdensburg Historical Society provided event updates and said the society building will be open July 27 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Donna Heverly described a property-maintenance complaint and told the council her driveway end was torn up by road work. Cristan Zamfir of Ogdensburg spoke about what she said was an unlawfully operating quarry, described blasts on Ogdensburg property and raised concerns about trucks using Kennedy Avenue; she also questioned the amount of taxes the quarry pays. Mayor Hutnick said he would inform the zoning officer and councilmembers noted staff would push to set up a meeting between quarry representatives and residents.
The public comments did not produce immediate enforcement action at the meeting; residents were told staff would follow up and pursue meetings with quarry representatives and zoning enforcement.
