Have you gotten together as a neighborhood and gone to speak with
representatives from the asphalt company? It might help. Try talking to
the company and if they seem unwilling to help ease your situation - the
news media (channels 4 or 7) may be able to help by airing a segment on
the news. Unfavorable publicity always seems to bring about favorable
results from uncooperative companies...
