![]() The above map of our 0.5 mile by 0.8 mile neighborhood indicates the intelligent, credible residents who have made a public complaint about Target Distribution Center's yard-truck backup beepers. Most residents don't want people outside this community to know about the issue. They have no intention of revealing to their potential realtor or a home-buyer the fact that, for many years, Target's yard-truck beepers have been penetrating this neighborhood about fifty percent of the time, at any time of the day or night, seven days a week. Target's yard-truck beepers account for more than 98 percent of backup beeper noise in this neighborhood. This is not a neighborhood for having a window open, enjoying one's porch or patio, or being outside. Target's yard is fenced, gated and guarded. There is no unsuspecting public strolling through the Target yard. There are alternative backing alarms available to Target.
