Re: Noise Barriers on Romanway Crescent

Please find attached a copy of the letter I recently sent to Ms. Maria Demarco, a constituent who has requested the installation of Noise Barriers on her street.

The Transportation Department has provided a report on this matter, which I provided to the constituent directly. However, Ms. Demarco still wishes to pursue this issue and has asked to make a deputation to the Committee on this matter.

Could you please facilitate this request and contact Ms. Demarco when her request will be scheduled for consideration at Committee. Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Ms. Demarco:

Thank you for calling my office with regard to your concern with noise from Jane Street traffic in your neighbourhood.

I am enclosing a report from our Transportation Department in this matter. As you will note, staff do not support the installation of Noise barriers due to high cost and concerns of local residents about the aesthetics and public security.

The option of having the property owners on Romanway Crescent pay for the installation of a noise barrier does exist although the costs may be significant. However, should you and your neighbours wish to pursue this further, I would be prepared to take this to the appropriate City committee on your behalf.

Please accept my apology for the length of time it has taken to receive this report. The many changes due to the amalgamation of the city have disrupted our normal process and lines of communication. Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Yours sincerely,

Frances Nunziata

Councillor, York-Humber.
