Residents press township on noise, dust and representation in Hodges Heights
Summary
Multiple residents urged the board to address long-running noise, dust and traffic problems tied to nearby waste-handling activities and criticized the characterization of Hodges Heights as 'underrepresented'; they asked for concrete mitigation such as sprinkler systems and better sidewalk/traffic management.
Several residents used the public-comment period to press the board for action on neighborhood quality-of-life issues in and around Hodges Heights. Steve Johnson described persistent noise and dust at his home, saying his children have respiratory issues he attributes to airborne dust and that the neighborhood has seen little corrective action over many years.
William Miller urged the township to press private property owners to trim trees that block sightlines, repair sidewalks near the Devonshire/Crums Mill intersection, and consider short-term dust controls such as elevated sprinklers or misters on haul routes. Chairman Campbell and supervisors acknowledged the complaints; Supervisor Lindsay noted prior interactions with state and county stakeholders on related issues and asked residents to attend upcoming township events.
