Between 50 and 60 million dollars.

Council could consider holding a referendum.

A reserve fund could be created by Council resolution.

This would depend on the loan bylaw that could be proposed to citizens by Council.

According to the partnership agreement proposed by Transport Québec and approved by Council, the City pays 25% of the cost instead of 50% usually prescribed by the government’s policy. We invite you to consult the MTQ's presentation from May 17.

There was very little private development along Beaurepaire Drive following the adoption of the government’s policy.

No measures are being considered for citizens residing on the north side of Highway 20.

No. Otherwise the City would have to pay penalties and be obliged to act which is not the case. The City respects the laws and bylaws.

Yes, the City is holding open house sessions on May 30 and June 6, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., for the general public as well as meetings for specific situations with the owners living along the projected barrier.

In order to continue the citizen consultation, the City is launching a Léger 360 survey to reach a representative sample of the population of Beaconsfield. It is therefore possible that you will be contacted in the next few days by the firm Léger to answer questions about the noise barrier.

Diffraction is a phenomenon where sound waves are attenuated and propagate towards a receiver. In the construction of a noise barrier, this usually occurs above the barriers (as shown in the presentation). Generally, when the noise barrier is sufficiently high and long, the effects of diffraction are minimal for the population living behind the noise barrier. This is because the height of the screen provides sufficient attenuation of the sound wave. Therefore, the presence of the noise barrier will not increase the noise level south of Highway 20.

The Rockwool insulation in the woven willow rod noise barrier is biosoluble, non-carcinogenic and not classified as an irritant by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Rodent damage to the panels or Rockwool has not been detected in any of the various noise barriers made of woven willow stems installed along the Ministry's road network. It should also be noted that these walls include concrete elements placed at the bottom of the screens to limit the rise of humidity from the ground, as well as a steel cap to ensure better protection of the end of the wood pieces.
