A PROPOSED new noise
bylaw, first introduced in July
1993, was brought back to
West Vancouver District
Council, November 7.

WEST VANCOUVER

By Maureen Curtis

The bylaw, Coun. Diana
Hutchinson explained, engendered
so much community interest when it
was first drafted that it took some
time for municipal staff and.council
members to look at all of the issues
raised.

“References to the sound of birds
twittering have been removed,”
Hutchinson quipped, referring to

some of the wording in the original
bylaw that created a public stir.

The primary purpose of the
bylaw, she emphasized, was to
introduce decibel readings as a
means of measurement.

The bylaw would also serve to
reduce the hours when construction
will be allowed.

If the bylaw is passed, construc-
tion weekday start times will be
changed from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.

Construction would have to be
finished by 6 p.m. rather than the
present wrap-up time of 7:30 p.m.

The hours of construction
allowed on Saturdays would be 8
a.m, to 6 p.m.

The use of power equipment is
allowed between 7:30 a.m. and 8
p.m. on weekdays, and from 11 a.m,
to 5 p.m. on Sundays. :

Some exemptions would be pro-

The bylaw was tabled to give the
public a month to comment before
the public hearing will be held
December 12.

Copies of the draft bylaw are
available at the clerk’s department
of the West Vancouver municipal
hall.
