Notice of Intent: Whistle Cessation at Bennett Road and Cobbledick Road

Take notice that the Council of the Municipality of Clarington, at its Regular Council Meeting on June 23, 2025, intends to pass a resolution to stop train whistling at the following CN Rail grade crossings:

• Bennett Road – Kingston West subdivision (Mile Point 289.08)
• Cobbledick Road – Kingston West subdivision (Mile Point 287.26)

The resolution is pursuant to subsection 23.1(1)(b) of the Railway Safety Act RSC 1985, c 32 (4^_th Supp), as amended, and is intended to stop the sounding of a whistle or horn when a train approaches the public grade crossings noted above. The whistle or horn will not be activated on a regular basis but may still be necessary in the case of any immediate safety concerns at the discretion of the operating rail authority.

Significant safety improvements have been made to the crossing’s warning system, along with road improvements, to enable train whistling cessation at this location.
