I am excited for the march and public forum tomorrow (August 27). It seems like we’ve all been worried and upset for so long. Now, we finally get to have our voices heard.
I think the events will be big. I hope we have a huge turnout. We need to save Barrington from the noise, the congestion, the pollution, and the safety hazards of having 20+ freight trains a day barreling through our backyards and downtown.
We need to stand up for ourselves and for our neighbors.
Do you really think we’ve done all we’ve can? What about towns west of us? Have they gotten involved? Neighbors to the west have to come through the area everyday to get to work. Is it really a crazy idea to propose the coalition members to purchase the rail? Has anyone really researched this idea?
I too hope it will be a huge turnout….I almost didn’t attend at Makray when they had to start turning traffic away.
