Anyone who thinks I'm being silly about the sound levels that have been produced by the rehabilitation of the CPR Bridge is welcome to come down to the park right now at 9:29 p.m. and listen for yourself. That's what residents have had to listen to for the last 5 months, starting at 7:00 a.m. in the morning and running to 10:00 p.m. at night 6 to 7 days a week.

It's a public street, you're more than welcome to come down and listen for yourself.

It would be far more productive than just critique a video I took of it, which is obviously been filtered by the phone and uploading to social media.

The point of the video I posted a couple times today is to prove that most of the noise is not occurring between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. as the city claims on their website.

I actually walked out of the Festival Hall, after they had the public meeting on the accelerator fund, and again with the candidates forum, and you could hear that sound. I walked up the hill to Parkland Mall one day and could hear them running the equipment at the bridge.

Now imagine living 100 m away from it. I'm not talking about moving, or you know just ranting about it from a personal standpoint, I'm just providing evidence that the impact on the community is not just the $11.1 million dollars that we're all talking about.

This bridge construction is going to last 1.5 years.
