Thank you! And two questions

Hello again, City Council!

Thank you so much for the work you, and especially Betsy, did on the Clock Works permitting issue!! The compromise is reasonable. It does sound like the bar/restaurant would have put those limits on themselves even without the permit restrictions but at least the codified rules are better for neighbors than they were. Thank you!!

I noticed that the Council is concerned about freeway, airplane and other noise in Belle Haven. You should be! It’s a problem that has been ignored for far too long and particularly egregious because it falls on racial and financial lines. I also noticed that you don’t seem concerned about noise for people who live in areas that have been designated for urbanization. Can you tell me more about that discrepancy?

On a semi-related note, but asked without judgement on your answer to my previous question, can you tell me the recourses that neighbors have if there are issues with urbanization-type noise? Is it just call the police?

Thank you so much for even more help!!
Kristen
