City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez expressed deep concerns about the potential health impacts of the warehouse in Lincoln Heights, emphasizing that it would exacerbate existing environmental injustices in the community, which is already grappling with pollution from freight trains and contaminated industrial sites. She called the project a ‘ slap in the face’ to residents, highlighting the influx of truck traffic and resulting pollution that would affect nearby schools.
School board member Rocio Rivas echoed the concerns raised by Hernandez, stressing that the planned warehouse poses a serious threat to the health of students at Hillside Elementary School. She urged city officials to reconsider their support for the warehouse, pointing out that additional truck traffic and emissions would significantly endanger the local community and disrupt the quality of life for its residents.
