Coney Island Residents Can Sleep A Bit Easier, If Not Yet Quieter, As Legislation Passes Assembly To Reduce Train Noise

The New York State Assembly has passed a bill requiring the New York City Transit Authority to annually document the actions it takes to reduce train noise throughout the train system.

The legislation, A-6265 introduced by Assemblymember Mathylde Frontus (D- Coney Island, Bath Beach, Bay Ridge) and passed in a 145-2 vote on Tuesday was drafted after a group of residents, known as the Stop the Noise Initiative Group, living in Brightwater Towers, who convinced Frontus after measuring F train noise levels and circulating a petition signed by 500 building residents.
