This is a typical unloading situation. The Truck is in the yellow, but the tailgate and the unloading is in the red zone.

..
This is a worst case scenario of the 1st picture. The unloading pretty well blocks the Mercy driveway entrance. Hardly legal.

WHY WE CARE: Joanie and I are impacted by the noise of the loading gate hitting ground. The further from our property the better. There is also backup horns, and the moving of freight by our home.

This is a Mercy Employee sitting smoking right below the sign Shelly (below) talks about.

The mostly present Mercy busses smoke too. The only difference there is no smell. See blog posting for January 11th. (No smell, good or bad?)

The truckers often use the public sidewalk as a loading dock area. This is against the ordinances. The sidewalks are suppose to be kept open for the public.

This is a transfer food packages. All the food stuff for the whole hospital comes through here. Often two fork lifts will handle the packages after they are re stacked. This operation is by our back fence. Questions:

1. Why not use the loading dock that has been used for years? It looks to me basically untouched, un-modified.

2. Should the EIR cover changes to the hospital operation that effects the residential neighborhood. We were shown many parking plans. Nothing was marked loading dock area.

3. The hospital knew it was coming as the concreted in an area for it.

4. The hospital has 13 acres. Surely this operation should not be next to a residential neighborhood.

5. What are the loading dock plans after construction?

This bus in illegally parked in a fire lane. All through the day the busses come and go, Sometime the driver sits in the seat, sometime he gets out and walks around while waiting,.

Our problem: These "invisible" fumes often blow towards our home. Suggestion move the bus stop away from our home.

Today I wish to acknowledge something Marcy did do that was positive. They built a traffic diverter on J St.. See above picture. On the not so positive side Joanie an I spent 1000's of dollars in lawyers fees on this. Also it benefits Mercy as much as us as our driveways are so close together. They have 100's of times of more traffic than we do.

I starting back this blog as a way to document how Mercy is taking advantage of us, Joanie and myself, Jim Ferry. We have been on the receiving end of Mercy's evasive disclosure of the facts. I intend to talk about one subject at a time. Today a truck was using the fire lane to unload.

..............

Our Problem:

A 7 am wakeup call is a negative impact. Our bedrooms are a very short distance away. Also it is an illegal use of a fire lane.
