Dear Mr. Walker,

I hope this message finds you all well. I’m writing today to express my deep concerns about Walker Aggregates’ efforts in partnership with Clearview Township to shut down County Road 91 and develop Sideroad 26/27. The proposal is unnecessarily destructive, expensive, and unsafe. I ask that you work with the community and Township to find an alternative plan forward which respects the concerns of residents and mitigates damage to the environment and transportation network. 

County Road 91 is an essential thoroughfare for residents across the region and the thousands who visit our community throughout the year. It’s not entirely clear as to why Walker Aggregates needs to close the highway as the tunnel between both Duntroon Quarry pits has been operational for more than half a decade. As a member of our community, we ask that you recognize the importance of working with, rather than against, your neighbours.

The proposed road network amendments will damage the area’s natural landscapes and biosphere despite your quarry having created infrastructure to continue operations in the area. As residents, we still do not understand why Walker Aggregates has continued to pursue the road closure. The process is unnecessary and destructive without any benefits to our community.

Your organization’s deal with the Township has broader impacts on our community – on our families, businesses, and livelihoods. You must decide if Walker Aggregates will continue to be a member of our community or place its pecuniary interests over its relationship with residents. We ask that you reconsider your position and undertake a critical review of potential alternatives to this harmful and unwanted plan.

Sincerely,

Stay updated
