Specifically, the <br />contractors working on the COIKlrete in the ice rink are driving aU of their vehicles on the <br />road, not just the large ones. Every time they drive on the road, it creates tremendous <br />amounts of dirt, which in turn completely dusts out their homes. Mr. Anderson <br />comtnented that he doesn't know ifhe should leave his windows open when he leaves for <br />work every day, or not. Jfhe leaves them open, when he comes home, everything in his <br />house has been completely covered by dust. It is too hot to keep the windows closed <br />every day, and he doesn't feel he should have to. Additionally, the gates are left open all <br />night. He questioned if the gates are required to be closed, and why they were opened to <br />begin with. Mr. Peterson explained that the gates are being opened temporarily fur the <br />construction of the Wheels Park (concrete) and the electrical contractors. Once this is <br />complete, the gates will be closed permanently, but in the mean time, the contractors are <br />supposed to be closing the gates every night. Mr. Henrich comtnented that the gates are <br />not being closed every night. In filet, there are some weekends when the gates are closed, <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />1- <br />
