Survey says Beaconsfield residents not in favour of soundwall project

After years of pressure and complaints, Beaconsfield’s mayor commissioned a study that shows residents are not in favour of spending taxpayers’ dollars on a noise barrier on the south side of Highway 20. What’s more, he argues that if public health officials deem the sound of traffic in the area poses a health risk, then it should be up to the Quebec government to pay for a soundwall. Global’s Tim Sargeant reports.
