Residents press council on Braen Quarry truck impacts; police to conduct traffic analysis
Summary
Residents raised concerns about Braen Quarry's truck traffic and alleged damage to Kennedy Avenue. Sgt. Sanfilippo described a traffic-count study using a radar counter; Braen representatives have agreed to inspect resident claims about blasting-related property damage.
Public comment and council updates focused on Braen Quarry and truck traffic through Ogdensburg. Resident Cristian Zamphir told the council quarry activity had "destroyed the road" (Kennedy Ave.) and asked for continued oversight and a contact group to coordinate resident concerns with the company.
Councilwoman Cowdrick reported a Sept. 30 meeting with Braen representatives and said the company will visit affected residents to assess whether blasting has damaged properties and address removal of dead trees near Arch Street. Separately, Sgt. Joseph Sanfilippo reported that the police department conducted a traffic-count study (Oct. 2–10) using a "black cat" radar counter to classify vehicle lengths and better understand truck patterns; he noted limitations in differentiating specific truck types but said local delivery trucks are permitted access for deliveries.
