The following is the text of our presentation to the Public Works and Protective Services Committee on Dec. 6, 2011.

Dear Mayor and Councillors:

How public is public?

In response to our open letter to the Huntsville Council concerning the matter of the public meeting to discuss the Stahls Road issues, we have received an apology from the mayor and the committee chair.  We are pleased to put the issues related to that earlier meeting behind us, and are looking forward to a full and open discussion of the issues in the new year.

The meeting was very well attended by residents from both the N. Waseosa/ Jessop Lane and Stahl's Road neighbourhoods. While Chair Det Schumacher initially indicated a 3 minute time limit per person would apply, the rule was not enforced. This led to a frank and open discussion about the safety issues with truck traffic on either road as well as quarry operations in general. All parties were very respectful of each other's positions, even where they disagreed in the details. And very good points were raised by both those for and those against this proposal.
