Editor:
An open letter to Burnaby RCMP Chief Superintendent Deanne Burleigh:
I addressed the Mayor of Burnaby regarding a growing noise in Metrotown area asking for action against it.
Then I realized that the Council of Burnaby enacted bylaw No 7332C named “BURNABY NOISE OR SOUND ABATEMENT BYLAW 1979."
This bylaw regulates precisely what I was complaining about - extreme noise produced by inappropriately modified car and bike exhausts in growing number of vehicles. The said vehicles are driven around the area with a sole purpose of producing extreme noise. With a growing number of highrise buildings that are, unfortunately, efficient reflectors of sound, the noise is becoming unbearable.
Who else than police should make this bylaw effective. It will not require a huge effort to use just few officers with sound level meters that can stop and fine the owners of such vehicles and excluding them from traffic.
I hope you will do your best to provide an appropriate action. The sooner the better.
Thank you.
Zoran Bugarinovic, Burnaby
