With the Fairview Container Port now an active place of industry once again, residents in areas immediately adjacent are growing weary of hearing the sound of train whistles at all hours of the day. It's a byproduct of progress that they are finding a little irritating of late, and one that they are looking to their elected muncipal representatives to remedy.
To that end, city council will entertain a delegation on Monday evening and then introduce a report into an anti whistling bylaw, that will most likely be designed to bring some peace and quiet to those who's nerves are now being jangled.
Included in the city council agenda posted on line, is a copy of the petition of local residents, as well as a collection of documentation that pertains to the case of the whistling train engines.
Residents point to a similar bylaw in Terrace as a good guide for the city of Prince Rupert to look to when addressing the issue.
That item, as well as a look at some early budget approval on capital projects (from the purchase of new trucks, to repairs to Hays Creek bridge and some work in the cruise dock area improvements to name a few) will be on the nightly to do list.
As well as a few other bits of business set to make it to the council chambers on Monday night, with a different start time of 6 pm for those that like to drop in and watch municipal government at work.
