‘It is an active railyard’; CP Rail responds to noise complaints from Lorne Street residents
KAMLOOPS — CP Rail says the City of Kamloops can take action on noise complaints by addressing its own zoning practices.
The company’s director of Indigenous relations and government affairs, Mike Lovecchio, attended Tuesday’s (June 23) Kamloops council meeting virtually from his home on Vancouver Island.
Lovecchio addressed a series of concerns brought forward by Kamloops residents and businesses, including noise from idling trains and railyard operations disrupting life for residents along Lorne Street.
The company tries to minimize idling as much as possible, said Lovecchio, as it would prefer its trains be on the move to their next destinations.
