"It's just constant noise, like there's absolutely no peace and quiet," said Kristina Cisnero, who lives at Beatty and Smithe streets. Typically, the City of Vancouver prohibits construction noise past 8 p.m., but according to the city's website, one can apply for a noise bylaw exception permit. The construction noise a #Vancouver resident says she's had to put up with past 8 p.m. for several weeks now. Cisnero said the warm temperatures over the weekend also meant she had to make a choice between living in sweltering heat or leaving the window open and inviting in the construction noise. Cisnero said she is shocked the city approved overnight construction at a site that is so close to so many residential buildings.
