I felt like it was much quieter for most of the summer and then the past few weeks it’s been loud again. I wonder if the temporary noise decrease was aligned with the sound engineer making his assessment? Obviously hard to know but if you have any insight Lauren I would love to hear it.

I've been able to get a response from Christina Jones. I believe she is the city councilor for the district encompassing the 5 points neighborhood. She seems to be sympathetic to our plight. You can email her here:

I sent her another email this afternoon.

A few updates about Bowstring. Last month the city hired a sound engineer to check them and a few other places out. They should be giving a report to the city at some point. Call and ask City Council about this as it directly impacts us.

The sound guy said that they are pointing their speakers at the side of a building, so the sound is bouncing off a big wall and up into our neighborhood. Also, the stage is above the soundproofing wall they installed. This needs to change. Again, call City Council.

Bowstring has appealed their July citation. I know the appeals process is different now, so who knows how that will go.

On Aug. 23rd, the music was really loud again, so I called it in. I got a call back from Sgt. Rattelade who threw everything he had at me to stop complaining, including comparing them to Red Hat Amphitheater and telling me since the number of calls to RPD has dropped, it’s not that big a deal. I’ve since received an apology for the disinformation.

They received another citation on Aug. 29th, which they will of course appeal.

Bowstring is obviously operating as if their appeals will be upheld and the citations dismissed. Why?

Public pressure is the only way this will get resolved, and it needs to be ramped way up again. I’m exhausted and out of other ideas.

Feel free to message me off-list at laurenmarkleyjewelry@gmail.com.
