Last spring, now almost a year ago, things were looking up. In mid-May, all the candidates running for City Council President committed to a reconsiderations of the noise ordianance. If elected. The one who got reelected, Lakisha Collins-Bellamy, was among them. Then about a month later, when the City Council improperly voted to amend the 2023 noise ordinance that started all this, Collins-Bellamy stated very clearly that she wanted the city to do a study of noise policy (see video below).
Joining her in speaking out for a study was Corazon Pineda-Issac, the independent leaning Council Member. She said she was voting for the revised ordinance because she was told it was a necessary “legal technicality,” and that she was further told a noise study would be done soon (see video below). Sources indicated at the time that the it was Council Majority John Rubbo who had assured Pineda-Isaac and Collins-Bellamy that there would be a study. One year later. Where’s the study.
