Letter: Stop FedEx, take a stand

What is behind all those yellow "No FedEx at Hanscom" signs growing from so many front lawns? They are a way to draw attention to what could happen at Hanscom Field that will dramatically impact our streets, our town, and the noise level above our homes.

FedEx has applied to Massport to fly in one large cargo plane per day. There will be five FedEx trucks to meet the plane and nine trucks to bring in cargo for loading for a total of 28 round trips. This is to be a trial beginning and could expand if demand warrants.

What has been done to challenge FedEx? Both the selectmen and the School Department have agreed not to use FedEx for their deliveries. You too can join them and use other delivery services such as UPS and the Post Office. Please don't use FedEx and tell your neighbors!
