2019-2023 YVR Noise Management Plan – City of Richmond Comments

David Walters, 1141 Wellington Crescent, expressed opposition to the proposal by the Vancouver Airport Authority to develop Templeton Field for use as a cargo handling facility. He stated that the noise generated by airport operations currently exceeds Health Canada guidelines for the schools and community centres located in Burkeville. He was of the opinion that the proposal will exacerbate noise levels as Templeton Field serves as a barrier between the community and airport operations. Mr. Walters then stated that Burkeville residents oppose the encroachment of airport operations into their community due to the anticipated negative health impacts.

Discussion took place and it was suggested that this matter be discussed at the September 25, 2018 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Committee meeting.
