According to a report in TheSunDaily, adjustments were made to the proposed Bayan Lepas to George Town Light Rail Transit (LRT) line. Read on:

Chow said he has received feedback that SRS Consortium, the project delivery partner (PDP) for the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP), has made adjustments to the proposed Bayan Lepas to George Town Light Rail Transit (LRT) line.

The changes were made after three schools, SJK(C) Kwang Hwa, SJK(C) Shih Chung and SK Sungai Nibong, expressed worries that the noise from LRT carriages passing by will be too loud.

Nonetheless Chow, whose portfolio also includes Traffic Management and Flood Mitigation, said noise measuring devices were installed to ascertain the level of noise near the schools.

“You will be surprised that the current noise from traffic is louder than the LRT system,” he said, adding more information will be made available soon.
