H Krista,
Yeah, I a couldn’t say what happened related to citations over the weekend.
Only what I had heard in a previous briefing. This is top of mind for the
council. We are working hard to make the best modifications to the noise
ordinance and others that crack down on repeat abusers, within our legal
authority.
It won’t be immediate, but we are working as swiftly as we can.
In the meantime, please keep calling in noise complaints. This creates a
record for us to look at how much RPD resource is allocated to a given
area. That documentation is important to informing our deliberations. I
know it might feel futile in the moment, but It is contributing!
I’m sorry I can’t be of more immediate help. Reach out anytime.
Best Regards,
Megan

Megan, Thank you for your quick response to my email. I appreciate the
effort that Bowstring’s management has made in making noise dampening
improvements to their property, but with respect, the effort hasn’t been
successful in making it so

Megan,
Thank you for your quick response to my email.
I appreciate the effort that Bowstring’s management has made in making
noise dampening improvements to their property, but with respect, the
effort hasn’t been successful in making it so that we cannot hear the music
at 12 times the distance allowable by the noise ordinance. I can still hear
their music inside my home, as I did on Saturday evening, Nov. 16. You
mention that RPD determined Bowstring isn’t responsible, but I understand
from a neighbor that an RPD officer cited Bowstring again last night for a
noise violation.
So, this matter still is unresolved. Please advise on what will finally end
this regular nuisance for us or what you need from us to move in that
direction.

Hi Krista,
I’m verry sorry for the noise. I know it is frustrating.
It is my understanding that RPD recently met with the manager at Bowstring,
who has made a number of improvements to the outdoor space to dampen the
sound. I believe they are triangulated the days and the specific noise
folks were hearing and were able to determine that it isn’t Bowstring. So
RPD are attempting to determine who is responsible for the sound.
I’ll keep you posted! Sorry again for the trouble!
Best Regards,
Megan

I am writing to plead for your help to end the regular noise violations
coming from Bowstring Brewyard. From my understanding of the recently
adopted noise ordinance, I live 12 times further away than allowable
distance and yet every time Bowstring

I am writing to plead for your help to end the regular noise
violations coming from Bowstring Brewyard. From my understanding of
the recently adopted noise ordinance, I live 12 times further away
than allowable distance and yet every time Bowstring has live music, I
am able to hear it inside my home with the doors and windows closed.
My neighbors and I have made so many reports to the RPD and
non-emergency dispatch number that we are easily recognized by those
who answer the phones.
Please advise on what will finally end this regularly nuisance for us
or what you need from us to move in that direction.
