In the fall of 2019, we launched a small survey of the signatories of our petition for an acoustic barrier south of the highway.
This informal email survey is not scientific, we cannot afford to hire doctors to measure the level of discomfort, or to demonstrate the direct link.
It is however remarkable that we spontaneously received so many responses from these citizens.
22 Beaconsfield residents said they were sick because of the highway 20
Some of them have since moved in and noted a marked decrease in symptoms after a few months away from the daily noise source.
