I 've been in Hillsborough for <br /> twelve years . I ' m within one project of my state environmental certification and my <br /> main focus of interest is in the waste stream . I am getting my masters in public <br /> administration . <br /> 1 . Adoption of Minutes from April 5 SWAB meeting Bowerman moves to accept the <br /> minutes with one clarification. In the comment made about waiving the traffic <br /> analysis, I would like it to be clear that it was a bad idea . They should do it. They <br /> should also do a much larger more comprehensive study . <br /> Norwood states that there was a traffic study for Purefoy Dr . (road in Rogers Road <br /> area) with Habitat being built there which will increase the traffic to 700 cars a day on <br /> a road that is not a quarter of a mile long . The traffic engineer person said the road <br /> will handle between 3, 000 and 5, 000 cars . Don' t waste the money . <br /> Bowerman states that given the objections people had [to the Transfer Station] it <br /> would be much better off to have done the survey and have it say that everything is <br /> fine than not to do it and have yet another thing for people to point at. <br /> Vickers 2nd with the caveat that minutes are changed to reflect Linda' s wording , <br /> Passes unanimously . <br /> 2 . Board Comments Norwood states that Van, the wonderful young man that works at <br /> the convenience center on Eubanks Rd, his wife did make it through her surgery . <br /> There was definite notice in how it was run when he was away . <br /> Smith states that the comments I ' ve been getting are about the disappointment of <br /> closing Hwy 57 and the other one [Walnut Grove] is not easy to get in and out of. The <br /> two recycling bins are being well received and well used . <br /> Sassaman states that there was an interesting article brought to my attention that <br /> showed the reaction of those to a waste facility to be located in their neighborhood <br /> [ distributes article] . <br /> 1 <br />
