To ensure compliance, the plan — which was approved yesterday by the planning and transportation committee — calls for the hiring of four full-time enforcement officers. The budget for the officers, plus administrative costs, is estimated at $340,000 next year.

Sure, let's waste $340,000 on useless people to go around telling
everyone to turn down the music when it's probobly barely even
audible, instead of putting it towards something a little more
useful to the city. Oh I dunno, the homeless for example? How
f*cked are these guys?! :mad: I agree with what others have said,
they spend WAY too much time thinking of things the city cannot do,
instead of concentrating on what they CAN do to help generate a
higher level of tourism which then creates a higher level of income!

"If officers are out there and hear it, they can deal with it," Weinstock said. "If you're standing on the street and you hear it, that's all you need."
The city defines loudspeaker or amplified sound to include sounds from CD players, stereos, radios and even people making announcements. |
Notice how they don't define in db (decibels) just HOW loud,
loud is suppose to be at? Give the public a numeric equation to
work with. I know that might be the city endorsing the companies
that make sound level meter's, and oh my god they don't wanna do
that! (sarchasm)...I mean why not use that free publicity to promote
the fact they are going to waste ALOT of money on something so
useless! |

Halifax lifts noise cap for Stones
Last Updated: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 | 8:52 AM AT
CBC News
The rocking and rolling will continue in the Halifax Common long after the Rolling Stones leave the stage next Saturday.
Halifax regional council voted Tuesday to exempt the Sept. 23 concert from the noise bylaw so crews can tear down the stage.
The concert will be over by 11 p.m., and the eight-storey stage that took seven days to go up will be taken down in two.
That means there could be a lot of noise in the wee hours that Sunday as a crane and 75 tractor-trailers move the equipment.
"That will be a very ambitious period, as you can imagine," said Brad Anguish, environmental management director for the Halifax Regional Municipality.
Councillors say it's necessary to get the park in central Halifax back to normal as quickly as possible.
But some residents with medical problems are not happy council has agreed to allow construction noise after the regular 9:30 p.m. deadline.
"What do you do?" said Maureen O'Keefe, who lives on North Park Street, right behind where the stage will be located.
"I won't be able to stand the noise and neither will my husband."
O'Keefe's local councillor promised to look into whether the family could be moved out of the area for the night.

The biggest whiners can be found right here on Trance Addict.
However now that the smoking law has been rammed down everyone's throat they have moved on to noise. Well all those here complaining about others complaining about so called "noise pollution" had better check themselves. If you supported the outright smoking ban, then complaining about noise complainers makes you a hypocrite.
Remember how i said that the smoking laws would set precedents and that something you love might be the next target?
Just because you dont like smoking doesnt mean others shouldnt do it. Just because other people dont like city noise doesnt mean you shouldnt make it.
And as for the "health" debate that im sure is going to spark up. Many of these people point to so called "studies" that say that noise pollution is harmful to your health much the same way that people defend draconian smoking laws with studies.
"If you dont defend others, who will be left to defend you?"
I rest my case |

PS: Ive given up on this city and ive already started making long term plans to get out of here (within a couple of years)
The more i travel the more i realize how lost this place really is. I hate to be negative but stuff like this just reinforces my feelings. Too bad because Toronto could potentially be a wonderful place like it used to be. |

I was with you on everything and still am, I agree with your point(s). Shame to see this happening - as you figured it would. |
