BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Neighbors concerns are growing about a new development set to go in the canopy neighborhood.
Some neighbors I spoke with told me they are worried about a gas station planned here.
They argued it’s too close for comfort.
“You have the light, you have the noise at all hours of the day, you can’t escape it,” neighbor Lauren Schuler said.
The mom said she fears a new gas station will bring at the corner of Welaunee Boulevard and Dempsey Mayo Road.
Her home: less than 100 feet from a new Circle K proposed in to the area.
“My daughter is going to be playing in our backyard and she’s just going to be sitting in those fumes,” Schuler said. “She’s going to be breathing in those fumes.”
Down the road, her neighbor Steve Durie also has worries.
