Media Advisory - Metrolinx Reveals Contentious 16-Foot Noise Walls to West Toronto Residents Tonight

CEO Bruce McCuaig Unwilling to Consider Alternatives to Improve Pan Am Games Legacy

TORONTO, July 4, 2013 /CNW/ -

Who:	Residents from the Junction, the Junction Triangle and the West Bend concerned about plans to build 16-foot high noise walls across West Toronto as part of the diesel train link under construction to Pearson International Airport for the 2015 Pan Am Games.
What:	Metrolinx Noise Wall Community Advisory Committee Meeting and the first chance for area residents to see designs for proposed noise abatement barriers on the Georgetown South rail corridor.
Where:	St. Josaphat's Ukrainian Catholic Church 110 Franklin Avenue (Dupont west of Lansdowne)
When:	Thursday, July 4, 2013 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Why:	Without any intention of improving the rail corridor during the construction of the Union Pearson Express, Metrolinx is offering one option in a take-it-or-leave-it consultation that provides nothing for area residents.
	CEO Bruce McCuaig has refused since May to meet for a presentation by Brown & Storey Architects who have been hired by residents to develop a plan to green the rail corridor.
