I would like to suggest that we update the noise ordinance to further restrict excessivel loud personal vehicles
including altered "sports" cars that are intentionally made to be louder, diesel trucks, go-cart motorbikes that are
not suitable for roadways, and dirt bikes. The increase in noise in my residential area is double in the last 5 years and
I am not including construction noise or utility trucks/buses that go to MSU. There are so many personal trucks that
emit so much noise that I can be inside my house, not near any windows and with all doors/windows closed and
they still disrupt phone conversations. I have already taken actions to build fences, further insulate my home and
plant vegetation along my property lines but they do little in the face of excessively noisy vehicles. It is not safe for
children outdoors, pedestrians and bikers cannot hear anything and the noise pollution only works to increase stress
levels among all Bozemanites.
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with
your comment, you may alternately address comments@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all
information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
