I want to comment on the article on motor cycle noise. We live in the 1300 block of E. Walnut. We hear those motor cycles on St. Louis and they roar down Walnut to Glenstone. Yes I know I live in an urban environment by choice. But I can think of no environment that would tolerate 10-30 Harleys bunched up and roaring down the street. They are abusing our community because no one enforces the noise ordinances.
We live off of College Street near the Square, and we hear 15+ motorcycles every night plus a number of cars speeding down our small stretch of roads. My wife and daughter were nearly hit by a motorcycle driving down the sidewalk, and just last night, a motorcycle turned South onto Campbell Ave on a Red light heading right for oncoming traffic. Downtown should be a place that is friendlier to those that live, work, and spend money there than the motorcycles, dirt bikes, mini-bikes, and straight-piped exhaust that it currently fosters.
