STRICTER AIR CONTROLS PUSHED

KY. Van moise causes concern

NOISE POLLUTION from small
airplanes and helicopters in West
Vancouver has raised concerns
from the Right to Quiet Society for
Soundscape Awareness: and Pro-

Chairman John Beltz appeared
before West Vancouver District
Council) recently looking for sup-
port for his group’s request to the
Ministry of. Transportation for
stricter noise emission controls for
small aircraft.. “

Controls for large aircraft are
already in place, according to
Beliz, but helicopters and small
airplanes —- particularly. seaplanes
— can make a lot of noise, too.

“Rven a moving vehicle disturbs

only the street it moves down, with
the noise buffered by the
buildings. An aircraft disturbs
thousands of people at a time,”
Beltz said.

“There is no way to keep the
hoise out of your ears, and this
creates damage to our
psychological ‘and physical
health,’” he added. :

The society is. also asking the
government to change the flight
ceiling for small aircraft from
1,000 to 2,000 feet. ;

‘District council agreed to add its
support to that of North Van-
couver City, the District of North
Vancouver and the City of Van-
couver.
