The TNRD tallied the results of a survey of residents of Birch Island (near
Clearwater) to gauge appetite to have
trainwhistle blowing discontinued. Of
the 51 completed surveys received, 25
said they wanted whistle blowing to
stop, while 26 were in favour of allowing
the train whistling to continue.
The survey, which was mailed out
May 31, asked the respondents to check
one of two boxes, one of which said,
Stop train whistling at Birch Island Mile
60.2, and the other, Continue train
whistling at Birch Island Mile 60.2.
The deadline to receive surveys was
Thursday, July 14, at noon. Surveys were
mailed to residents within a 2,200-metre
radius of the Birch Island Mile 60.2 controlled rail crossing.
Based on the result, the process to
have train-whistle blowing stopped will
not move forward. But the vote appears
to leave neighbours deeply divided.
