After going back and forth a bit with Lt. Morrison, it has become clear that Bowstring’s
owners’ interest lies in reducing the number of citations they receive, rather than
reducing the volume or noise for us (to be fair, they are discussing soundproofing). They
want a special arrangement with us, rather than just complying with the noise ordinance,
so I’m not wasting my time on an in-person meeting.
In lieu of that, Lt. Morrison has asked everyone to write letters explaining your
experiences with the noise and how it has affected you. These will be presented to the
owner/s.
Here is Lt. Morrison’s email address:
Peter.Morrison(a)raleighnc.gov
I encourage EVERYONE to email him this week, and don’t hold back!! He really is advocating
for us and agrees that the bar doesn’t get to negotiate the degree to which they comply
with an ordinance. It infuriates me that we have to work to hard to get our quiet
neighborhood back, but the weather will warm up again soon, and Bowstring will be back to
business as usual, blasting us out.
Thanks,
Lauren
