I agree with you that the bill, as presently worded, is spineless. It is very weak. The terms used are not strong enough to indicate to the companies that they are at the heart of the problem and that they must find solutions.
That is why I suggest that we quantify the standards in terms of decibels and that they be included in the legislation, so that they will truly be respected, during the day and at night. These standards would be sent to the CTA, which would hear from the railway companies and propose solutions. The companies would have 30 days within which to comply. In our opinion, this is the way in which we could give much more force to the legislation.
