Train Whistle Cessation Projects in the Greater Toronto Area

On November 8, 2021, during the General Government Committee meeting, Stephen Brake, Director of Public Works, presented information regarding recent train whistle cessation projects within the Greater Toronto Area. The committee received a memo from Brake, which outlined the details of these projects. The resolution to receive this memo was moved by Councillor Traill and seconded by Councillor Anderson, and it was carried without further discussion. The implications of these projects for Clarington were noted, although specific details regarding local impacts were not elaborated in the meeting minutes. The council's decision to receive the information indicates an acknowledgment of the ongoing efforts to address train noise, which affects many residents in the area.
