What is happening with that big high-voltage noisy shed that was erected today next to Bonney Watson? It is marked “S TSS 66” and is making constant, ridiculous, and asinine noise. I thought it was a helicopter at first. Public parks are supposed to be parks–I.e., a bit of a breather from the city? That whole side of the park is drowned in the noise now. Is this going to be constant? Disgusting. Why not put this noisy power station on the street, which is already quite noisy? Is anyone else in the park bothered by this racket?

It’s a traction power substation for the streetcar. I don’t know why it’s making that noise all the time; I wouldn’t think that would be necessary. Maybe it’s a temporary thing to get it set up or make sure a backup generator (if it has one) works right.
