Locals Upset After Metrolinx Consultant Claims No Opposition to Massive Barriers
TORONTO, Oct. 21, 2013 /CNW/ -
| Who: | Junction Triangle Rail Committee, a group of West Toronto residents unhappy with the decision by Transportation Minister Glen Murray to build 16-foot (five-metre) high concrete noise walls through the neighbourhood next year. |
| What: | A public rejection of the controversial concrete wall scheme at the final Metrolinx community meeting on behalf of the 225 residents and members of the Junction Triangle Rail Committee. |
| Where: | St. Josaphat's Ukrainian Catholic Church 110 Franklin Avenue (Dupont/Dundas) |
| When: | Monday, October 21, 2013 |
| 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. | |
| Why: | Over the objections of residents, Metrolinx is constructing barriers for trains never expected to operate on the Georgetown South rail corridor. Tonight's formal rejection comes in reaction to published comments by Metrolinx consultant Neno Kovacevic, "There's no public opposition, we have been on this project for six months and the majority of people really love the designs."
