Over the past couple of weeks, my office has fielded several calls about noise concerns from residents who live near the ongoing work at 2555-2565 Marchurst Road. This week, the contractor applied for an overnight noise exemption to allow two diesel generators to run all night in order to maintain food refrigeration on site.
I have denied their request for Councillor concurrence as I do have serious concerns.
I understand the proponent’s position that this application is being made out of caution, and that the generators may never ultimately operate at levels requiring an exemption. However, given the concerns already raised by neighbouring residents regarding ongoing noise from the site, I do not believe approving additional overnight flexibility is appropriate at this time.
My office will continue to monitor the situation and advocate for reasonable mitigation measures that, first and foremost, protect our residents in the surrounding community.
If you have a question about this or any other Ward or City issue, just send an email to Clarke.Kelly@Ottawa.ca or call our office at 613-580-2475.
