I was raised in Hope, lived there from 1985 until 2017. My parents and other family still live in Hope. I’ve watched the destruction of peaceful living of those directly affected by this gravel pit over the last couple years, through frustrated posts and video/photo evidence they have shared. To all the level of disruption to continue this long is already disgraceful but it will be even more of a disgrace to allow this gravel pit to be expanded in size. This directly affects long time residents of Hope and something needs to be done to restore their peaceful neighborhood, not to further erode it.
