Hilton ward councillor Sam Wainwright says locals are concerned about emissions from the entrance, proposed to be near an aged care home, a nursing home and two schools.

On Tuesday, residents including gardening TV personality John Byrne handed the petition to state Labor Fremantle MP Simone McGurk, at the site of the proposed tunnel entrance.
