The City of Burnaby and TransLink need to find a solution for residents, this writer says.
I am writing to draw attention to the ongoing issue of excessive noise caused by the SkyTrain passing through our neighborhood, a topic raised by Charlene Dorward in a letter to Burnaby NOW on August 1, 2020.
Dorward’s letter mentioned that TransLink is not subject to Burnaby’s noise bylaws, which raises questions about who is responsible for enforcing noise regulations and ensuring that residents’ quality of life is not negatively impacted. Understanding why TransLink is exempt from these bylaws and whether there are other laws or regulations governing noise levels on the SkyTrain is essential.
