*************************

We live in the downtown area and there has been a constant problem with noisy vehicles that gets worse each year.

We cannot open our windows to allow air flow due to the constant assault on our ears by loud mufflers passing by.

The noise even comes into the apartment through the laundry and bathroom exhaust vents.

We cannot sit outside or on our balcony and hear each other speak.

We are not alone in our thinking that despite assurances of crackdowns, we have not seen any evidence of anything being done.

All of our neighbours are saying the same thing.

We would like to see some affirmative steps taken to end this ongoing problem.  

Charlie and Kathryn Talbot
Barrie
