One Richmond resident continues to account for the vast majority of noise complaints made to the Vancouver International Airport Authority.
2015 statistics to the end of November, presented to Richmond city councillors on Monday, show 126 out of 256 complaints were made by one person who lives under the floatplane route adjacent to the Fraser River’s middle arm.
However, the complainant in 2015 is a different individual than the complainant in 2013 and 2014, who was then responsible for 60 and 42 per cent of all Richmond-related concerns, respectively.
Since 2011 complaints outside of the outlying individuals have ranged from 117 to 176, annually. About half of the complaints in 2015 were the result of floatplanes.
