Re: Fed-up Burnaby residents petition TransLink to stop the screeching, NOW

Having always been a fan of SkyTrain I was horrified when I travelled westbound past Royal Oak. The screeching of the wheels on the track became unbearably loud.

There are homes just metres away from the tracks. I can only imagine how their quality of life has suffered due to SkyTrain. For these citizens, it must be like a jumbo jet flying 100 feet over their homes, every three minutes.

SkyTrain is not supposed make anyone's life a living hell. TransLink needs to take this seriously or they’ll face lawsuits, bad publicity and hardened opposition to any further expansion.
