City needs feedback on hauling of hazardous materials
Tuesday, February 14, 2017 by Nina Hernandez
The city is working on a study to design routes for vehicles that transport nonradioactive hazardous materials across the state. Those materials can include substances like gasoline, chlorine and propane. Community members with opinions can attend an open house on Tuesday, Feb. 21, from 5-7 p.m. at the Terrazas Branch Public Library, 1105 E. Cesar Chavez St. During the meeting, staff will give a preview of the draft routes and take feedback on how best to safeguard vulnerable populations, protect environmental resources and facilitate efficient travel.
