May 9th I asked Duryea Borough to place a no truck turn around sign at the entrance of this tiny dead-end road. I also begged them to stop backing the garbage trucks up to my home three times a week. They could drive in and then back up with very few black up Alarms. I lived here 17 years, and so many lost trucks drivers have painfully awoken me at 3 or 4 am trying to get their truck turned around in a place they never should be in the first place. I explained their Garbage trucks backing in this distance off of Main ST, with the backup alarms, the sound & vibrations of which was giving me seizures. I also provided them with the posted painful Hyperacusis article noting that it showed just how the Alarms & vibrations were keeping my head, neck, and whole spine in extreme pain. Not to mention the full body CRPS I have for 41 long painful years. I was told that it was inconvenient for the Garbage truck driver to drive in and then back up. A month later, I was also informed that on May 9th, the Borough council went behind the Duryea borough resident’s backs and voted the old 1920’s garage next door to me, with the crumbling asbestos foundation & water rotted roof was Ok to become a pre-school. It is OK to go against every school or church parking zoning ordinance written to protect residents in an R-2. The tiny area to use for parking is 38 X 50 and is located 9 feet from the inside door frame of my kitchen, and my homes windows.
Today was the first day I could even smile after a long and painful Trigeminal Neuralgia flare. And Duryea Borough garbage truck had to back up into my home this morning to pick up the only yard waste sitting out for pickup. That home’s address is actually on S Main ST, not this tiny dead-end. I lost time again today for about 20 minutes, and the seizure left me shaking and nauseated, with extreme pain in my head, neck, shoulders, and spine, all because the borough’s garbage truck driver finds it inconvenient to actually drive the damn truck the proper way? Just looking at the photos in the pain Hyperacusis link below you will understand that they are literally killing me. How can the greed of Duryea Borough legally be inflicting such pain, and suffering on a taxpaying homeowner veteran or anyone for that matter?

Pat,
It’s a shame that the Duryea Borough council hasn’t shown more compassion for their own citizens.

Ed, thank you! It seems their only compassion is spending much of the taxpayers funding on glorifying Naloxone. Because the media’s story on all of the needles little children are finding all over town did not look so good on them. While they are equivalently dominated by greed & jealousy, it leaves no room for common sense or compassion for invisible illnesses, which only takes actual understanding & human empathy because there is no cure. Damn I even offered to pay for the NO TRUCKS TURN AROUND DEAD END sign.
