Pointe-Claire residents could soon have a solution to noise pollution coming out of Highway 20.
Quebec’s Transport Ministry is set to release this year, the results of a feasibility study looking into a sound barrier between St. Jean and Des Sources boulevards.
Pointe-Claire Mayor John Belvedere says Pointe-Claire could follow in the footsteps of Highway 30.

Their sound barrier is made of different kinds of sound-proof systems, including plastic, concrete and soil.
“It could possibly be a bit cheaper, it could be better, it could be more environmentally friendly,” Belvedere told Global News.
“We have a restricted area to fit it in, so this means it could be smaller, thinner… It might be a lot easier to install,” Belvedere added.
If the wall is built, the MTQ and the city of Pointe-Claire would split the cost 50/50.
