Clarington Advances Whistle Cessation Plans at Rail Crossings

The General Government Committee of Clarington has instructed staff to proceed with plans for whistle cessation at the CN Rail grade level crossings at Bennett Road and Cobbledick Road. This directive was issued during the committee meeting on January 13, 2025.

The committee's decision involves staff continuing their efforts to implement the cessation of train whistles at these locations. A draft resolution is expected to be presented in the first quarter of 2025, which will include provisions for public notification in compliance with Federal legislation.

The cessation of train whistles is a significant consideration for local residents, impacting noise levels and safety measures in the community. The committee's directive reflects ongoing efforts to address these concerns while adhering to regulatory requirements.

Further updates on the progress of this initiative are anticipated following the presentation of the draft resolution.
