Traffic noise under LTA's purview
LAST Tuesday's article ('Wanted: Sound ideas to cut traffic noise') gives readers the impression that the National Environment Agency (NEA) is responsible for traffic noise.
We wish to highlight that traffic noise comes under the purview of the Land Transport Authority (LTA), which conducts noise-impact assessments for road and MRT development projects as part of its evaluation of traffic projects.
NEA is facilitating the calling of the tender for the study which comprises the LTA, Urban Redevelopment Authority, Housing Board, National Parks Board and SMRT.
