Ikeman stands up for District 5 residents complaining about construction noise

Westmount Independent, September 27-28 2011 -- Councillor Gary Ikeman, representing District 5, defends Sara Meland and other Westmount residents who have been waking up to the beeping sounds of reversing trucks on the McGill University Health Centre’s construction site. During a public meeting on September 22 at the MUHC building on de Maisonneuve Blvd., Ikeman told Montreal officials and an SNC Lavalin representative that the situation was unacceptable. “The beeping is going to put me in the hospital if it ever gets built,” said Meland. A Montreal police officer, Mina Lévesque, recommended that residents dealing with construction noise before 7 am call 911 to complain. (see p.9)
