I would like to ask that the City Council instruct the Police Department to enforce our noise ordinances in the downtown residential areas, in particular as it relates to muscle cars, motorcycles, and scooters. I have lived downtown on Hillsborough Street for over two years and the noise has gotten worse and worse, at all hours of both day and night. I have witnessed excessively loud vehicles pass by police as if nothing is wrong. Noise pollution is deteriorating our City and will drive good families and individuals away from downtown. Raleigh should be the showcase of our great state, warm and welcoming, not a nuisance town, loud and dividing.
