A de'!egatioi. of approximately 150 residents and property owners of Piinter Park appeared-
to oppose the establishment of a truck lar?e through 46th Street iri Winter Park which is
ir.cluded in a proposal presexited to the Board March 24, by Mr. W.E.Sissons on behalf of
the Petro?eum Haulers Committee. The meeting was he'fd in the Superior Court Room.
Before hearing the de'+egation &Ir. Sen McDonald ii:formed the Board that the City Council
recer.tly indicated that they-would give cor,sideratior: toward furnishing equipment for a
strong room for menta, cases. The same was referred to Mr. Tove to look into.
Attorneys R. S. McClellat:d .).nd Vd.K.Rhodes appeared for the petitior,ers, and Attoiney
G.C.Ricir:tire presented and read the petition signed by '141 property ovaners ar.d resldents
of VYinter Park who registered their protest against such a truck lane"through fiiinter Park
for the reasons- It would-er.darger the lives of the 500 or more pupii.s who attend the
Winter Park school , a gr•eat many of said pupi"s use some of the stieets and roads over
which the proposed truck lane crosses ir, view of the fact there are practically no
sidevealks. - The proposed truck ?ar:e would pass directiy in front of one church ar.d
within a block of the other two churches. - As the oi'+ trucks operate on Sundays as
_well as week days wouid be disturbing to the church worshipcrs as-we•l as making
it virtua"ly impossibie for residents of both_sides of said proposed truck lane to
_ rest and sleep at-night with trucks operating at a„ hours of the night. - The
Community_1s without fire protectior. and we_fee" it wou'ld be urQust to'subject the
Commuriity with the extra hazzards that would fol'!ow the establishment of a truck lane
trans.porting such highly inPammablc materials and as said trucks duc to their width
make it very hazardous in meeting or passing other trucks. Therefore the pctitioners
Peet the continued growth of the comtnunity should not be retarded ard the peace and
happiness of its citi2end disturbed, and earnestty and vigorousiy protest the .
establishment of a truck land through Winter Park.
