Hi all,
I wanted to start a new thread re Bowstring’s weekend shenanigans. I spoke to Officer
Gawande last night around 9. She was on site and had just spoken to the general manager
over there. She assured me that our complaints were founded, but she said that the GM told
her that the previous 4 citations had been dismissed!! She did NOT know if this is true or
not. If it is true, they were dismissed because Bowstring showed that they were taking
steps (lame, ineffective sound-proofing) to mitigate the noise. Apparently bars get a
chance to contest the citations, I have never been able to get anyone to clarify the
process around how or by whom they get upheld or dismissed.
What this tells me is that we need to demand transparency and clarification around this
process from City Council. They need to understand that their noise ordinance offers no
disincentive at all to keep bars from violating it.
I know we’re all really busy, but it would be super helpful if everyone called/emailed
City Council again and the mayor about this to get answers!
Thank you!!
Lauren
