Noise

The noise related to trucks, buses and cars is a constant concern. The noise measured on King Edward is considerable higher than the provincial and municipal standards. The Task Force is pursuing solutions through reducing speeds, using sound resistant pavement, adding more trees, and increasing the distance between properties and the street.
