Tour of Seneca Babcock May 13th

Desde que Battaglia Demolition comenzó a operar un poco más 10 hace años, los residentes de Peabody St. y el vecindario circundante se han quejado ante el estado y la ciudad de Buffalo con respecto al polvo y el hollín provenientes de la instalación.; Ruido fuerte que comienza temprano en la mañana de las excavadoras y la trituradora de concreto.; y tráfico masivo de camiones que se encamina por pequeñas calles residenciales.

“No puedo abrir mis ventanas debido a todo el polvo de la roca que aplasta. It is hard for my kids to play outside because there are so many trucks up and down the street. My kids are always getting bloody noses all day lon g.” Complaint from Peabody Resident to the DEC in 2013

Clean Air has joined resident’s decade long fight earlier this year, working closely with home owners in the densely populated community next to Battaglia’s location in Seneca Babcock.

On May 13th residents will lead a walking tour of their neighborhood and explain how the legacy of industry has impacted their lives. Residents will describe their ten-year fight against concrete crushing, wins and losses and how you can get involved.
