County commissioners have made it clear they do not want a truck route in Miami County. “There is no appetite in this room to put in a truck route – anywhere,” Chair Rob Roberts said during the commission’s study session Wednesday, March 2. At a recent commission meeting, several northern Miami County residents spoke out against establishing a truck route in the county. The residents said intermodal truck traffic has damaged their property, blocked their roads and created safety hazards. The County Commission’s recent discussion about a truck route should not be misinterpreted as a sign commissioners want to establish one, Roberts said. “Everybody went on the defensive saying, ‘We don’t want it,’” Roberts said. “Nobody here said we are doing it.”
