Letter: I've been frustrated for years about train smoke, and no one cares

This resident wonders why nobody's talking about the area near 20th Street and River Drive.

Train engines are "constantly belching plumes of black and blue clouds of emissions" in the River Drive neighbourhood, this New West resident says.

Re: trains and large truck diesel pollution in Sapperton

Why is nobody, it seems, except myself addressing the railway near 20th Street and River Drive? Most of these train engines are constantly belching plumes of black and blue clouds of emissions through our neighbourhood.

Try eating a meal smelling diesel smoke inside our houses.

Climate change: what is that? It seems this problem, over years of complaints, does not do anything for us people here. Do the people in charge and at city hall care?

Frustated for years,

Gary Prokovich
