July 3: ‘And Doug’s your uncle.’ New Ontario Ford cabinet includes Premier’s nephew, plus other letters to the editor
: It’s good to see I’m not alone in my opposition to the disturbing level of unnecessary and unacceptable speed and noise from inconsiderate motorcycle riders and drivers.
I live on a major thoroughfare in Mississauga and am totally fed up with speed and noise on my street, particularly after midnight. Peel Regional Police launched “Project Noisemaker” this year to address noise pollution, yet I haven’t noticed a decrease in noise or speed. On the contrary, the vehicles sound louder and noisier. Where is the enforcement? I complained to my councillor and to the mayor. Will it be taken seriously?We wholeheartedly sympathize with columnist Marcus Gee in his complaint about urban noise pollution. However, let me disabuse people of any illusions about small towns in the country.
Add to this the delightful hours we spend in the cacophony of lawn-care-obsessed neighbours. Local bylaw officers tell me there is no limitation on volume or duration. The only restriction is that one may not cut one’s lawn in the middle of the night. We have asked neighbours to show some restraint and even environmental awareness, but requests like that are not well received.Letters to the Editor should be exclusive to The Globe and Mail.
