Speed Limit 'Advisory' * USA - For trucks heading to wind-energy projects
Compromise is a far-better option than a stick-your-head-in-the-sand strategy...
Plattsburgh,NY,USA -The Plattsburgh Press Republican -4 Sept 2008: -- Earlier this summer we urged the Malone Town Council and area trucking companies to work out their differences over several issues created by heavy, tandem dump trucks hauling gravel and other supplies over town roads to reach wind-energy operations east of Malone... We're please to report that they have. It's another example of people patiently sitting down together to resolve their differences. The alternative, the potential waging of vitriolic debate in the media and at government meetings, didn't happen as a result... The agreement calls for lower speed limits on two of the four roads used by the trucks. Thomas Hill Road and River Road are now posted with 35-mph warnings while speed zones on Porter and Goodman roads will remain the same... The lower speed-limit advisories were posted a couple of weeks ago, and we're told there have been no further complaints from residents... Other municipalities in the North Country region could learn a lesson from this issue...
