4月17日，一项关于限制高层建筑的混凝土施工的妥协方案在投票中达成，该方案通过调整多伦多市的噪声有关规定进行实施。据现场新闻的报道，多伦多市范围内将继续看到混凝土倾倒和重型起重机工作彻夜工作的情形，但一切都将从10月1日其按照新规进行。该方案获得了大多数通过并且要求建筑方在工程开工七天前，向多伦多市执照申请部门申请获得临时豁免许可。安大略建设局方称此项调整可能会影响超过7000个岗位，并且对高层建筑来说，延长了数月甚至数年的时间才能竣工。新方案一旦实施，夜晚七点后将全面禁止建筑动工。

　　TORONTO NOISE AMENDMENT COMPROMISE REACHED

　　A compromise was reached on April 17 in a Toronto vote on restricting concrete work for the construction of high-rise buildings through amendments to the city’s noise bylaw. Continuous concrete pours and heavy crane work will continue to be permitted overnight throughout Toronto, On-Site reported, but will be subject to new restrictions beginning October 1. The amendment passed by a wide margin and requires builders to apply to the executive director of Toronto Municipal Licensing & Standards for a temporary exemption permit, which must be displayed for seven days prior to the work, among other stipulations. The Residential Construction Council of Ontario via CISION said the amendment could have threatened more than 7,000 jobs and would have added months or years to high-rise construction timelines. As enacted, it is a compromise for a blanket ban on construction work after 7 p.m.
