CN Rail still needs to finish the noise barrier

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

There’s a fence that’s about 70% complete that is suppose to block the sound of the trains. I don’t think its very effective, but it should still be finished.

CN Rail told us it would be finished summer 2008. It still isn’t. Also notice the grass, that’s a backyard. There are rows of townhouses backing right onto the train line. We’re a little bit further in and the house shaking keeps us up at night. I don’t know how those guys survive.

The following is a sitemap posted in the Tamarack subdivision.

The train line is not shown.

Dundee’s misleading maps

tamarack2There is a train line in this picture but its hard to see. This picture is from their site at livetamarack.com. The print pictures they were handing out (which I’ll scan and post) don’t have the train line at all.

What *does* Tamarack Look Like?

This is basically what Tamarack looks like. Notice the lack of houses and the proximity of the train line.
Obviously as the subdivision develops it will be filled in but there’s little activity in regards to building houses in this area. This probably has to do with the economic downturn but it is worrying.
And of course, its going to take decades for the trees they always talk about to grow (most of them haven’t been planted yet)
