Boston Sand & Gravel says pedestrian deaths 'inevitable' if housing complex moves forward
""Our trucks and operations are not inherently dangerous, but a development that intermingles pedestrians, bicyclists and passenger vehicles with the passage of these trucks via our access rights, creates an unnecessary and elevated risk.""
""The new building will give hundreds of pedestrians and cyclists 'unlimited' access to the maintenance road, creating an inevitable situation of repeated accidents between the company's trucks and pedestrians.""
Boston Sand & Gravel has filed a lawsuit against Trinity Financial to halt the construction of a 705-unit apartment complex near its Charlestown plant. The company warns that the development will create dangerous conditions by mixing pedestrian traffic with heavy truck operations on an adjacent maintenance road. They argue that the presence of hundreds of semi-trucks and concrete mixers poses an elevated risk of accidents. The lawsuit seeks to protect public safety and prevent foreseeable injuries and deaths.
