Noisy trains? New law seeks to fix problem
Brooklyn residents, especially in the southern part of the borough, are very aware of the inconvenience caused by noisy elevated trains.
But help may be on the way. On Friday, Gov.Kathy Hochul signed into law Brooklyn Assemblymember Mathylde Frontus’ (D-Coney Island-Bath Beach-Dyker Heights-Bay Ridge) New York City Transit Noise Reduction bill.
The law is in response to unnecessary and excessive noise from elevated trains that is impacting the health and quality of life of New Yorkers, including residents of Coney Island who brought this issue to the Assemblymember’s attention.
