I was at the Duncan Lane today for a bit.  It’s runs parallel to the CN track just North of Derry (and East of Scott).  The funny thing is that there is no sound barrier between the houses and rail tracks (okay, well, it’s not funny at all).  On some sections you can actually see the tracks from the other end of the street! 

It’s ridiculous that a builder would think it’s acceptable, but it’s worse that the Town has a standard that allows for this.  I would think the Town would at least require a wood barrier, if not something better like what Mattamy did South of Derry.

A resident has a petition going on it.  I hope something is done about it because the train was so loud that I had trouble talking to people outside.  File this under yet another thing that Milton needs to raise its standards on.  It should not be too much to expect a better control on sound pollution.
