Search for “No trucks at night on Knight” on Facebook everyone can go, as a one-stop-shop for important links, updates, input, and audio/video submissions documenting evening truck noise (with time/date stamp) originating from Vancouver Port, to present to key individual/s for a timely resolution! This community Facebook page also contains all pertinent contact information of people to help us reach a solution, in a timely manner. In addition, for us to be effective, we need everyone to tweet, email & phone these contacts multiple times a day continuously, to jam up their accounts and keep us at the forefront of their minds.

Our objectives are, for our complaints to be focused and conveyed intelligently to key strategic individuals i.e. The Media (TV/Radio/Nwsprs), MLA’s, MP, City Hall, the appointed Port Councillors, Global Container Terminals/TSI, and ultimately Port Vancouver. The aforementioned parties will enable us to gain exposure, traction, and momentum to expedite a final resolution with the Vancouver Port.

We’ll also need the support of audio/video documentation from any source possible. Truck traffic noise level in the evenings along the Knight St corridor is unacceptable!
