Question 2 of 5

economy.
OB. The second reason we should restrict nonresident drivers is that it
will go a long way in cutting back the noise pollution that has
become a major issue for Easton's children and elderly.
O c. Studies by the Hammond Institute for Environmental Studies show
that reducing traffic on Easton's major streets by 50 percent will
likely improve air quality by 70 to 80 percent.

in our town, Easton should limit the amount of nonresidents that
can drive in or through our city.
