[BPW-Action] Re: Noise Ordinance "Suspended"

Hi All, After calling in a complaint about the exceptionally loud noise last night from Bowstring, I was quite shocked when Officer Peterson of RPD told me that the Raleigh noise ordinance was suspended on Aug. 8 due to the city being sued by business owners, and police were not enforcing any noise ordinance until the new noise ordinance takes effect January 1st. I sent an email to city council members for verification (and an explanation if it is true that Raleigh is functioning with NO noise ordinance until January). I received the following reply from council member Megan Patton: *Hi Susan, * * I think there has been a misunderstanding. The noise ordinance was not suspended due to litigation. The litigation has caused the suspension of a certain night life permit. I’ll forward this along to the Chief for consideration. It is true that the new noise ordinance goes into effect on Jan 1st. * *Best Regards, Megan -- Megan Patton Raleigh City Council, District B * _______________________________________________ BPW-Action mailing list -- bpw-action(a)eastraleigh.org To unsubscribe send an email to bpw-action-leave(a)eastraleigh.org
