Forest Hills Gardens residents are pissed about the LIRR train noise again. Apparently it's gotten worse since they cut down trees along the tracks.
Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-Queens, Brooklyn) said in a statement that a sound barrier should be installed along the tracks. “The LIRR has long been an uneasy neighbor to the residents of Forest Hills Gardens. We need a hearty sound barrier where the crumbling wall once stood.”
You know Congressman, the sound gets emitted on both sides of the tracks. How about a sound barrier on the north side too. Or better yet, how about people realize that they bought an apartment next to a railroad.
