The City of Yorkton is dealing with several complaints from residents – which centre on semis sitting and idling too close to a residential area.
At Yorkton’s council meeting on Jan. 6, a resident expressed their frustration with trucks being parked for a “long period of time” at Truck Pro – located near Broadway St. E and Range Rd 40 – stating they are concerned about the noise and air quality surrounding the area.
“We are being woken up every morning they are idling there,” Kim Waddell said to council, on behalf of the three families upset on the matter.
“They are loud whenever they are running anytime during the day, and we get noxious diesel exhaust fumes in our house and our yard to the point where it is affecting our health and we are extremely concerned about this.”
