The Noise Continues and Continues
from Yonge-Eglinton Centre
 

The ARECA Board has been working on the noise issue in the neighbourhood. It seems many have noticed the noise emanating from the Yonge-Eglinton area, reaching deep into the far corners of ARECA.

The noise is from cooling towers atop the Greenwin Building at 20 Eglinton West. Steps were taken earlier than usual to reduce the number of cooling towers in operation from 6 to 2. With the assistance of Councillor Stintz and her staff, we reported that sound barriers which should eliminate the noise problem are anticipated to be installed by mid-January, 2005.

Well, seems this is NOT HAPPENING!!! However, in a letter from David Willott, Director of Operations of the Yonge-Eglinton Centre he says “... the residents to the west of our complex have been experiencing noise from the rooftop equipment above the levels set by the City of Toronto ... We have been assured by our consultants that the required work can be in place and operational in early April of this year”.

ARECA will continue to keep an ear on this issue and hopefully we will all enjoy the quiet as we look forward to spending more time outdoors.
