The noise continues as of May, 2013 with whining motorcycles speeding and making lots of noise late at night. The weekends are the worst. Come on, TPD, there are traffic and noise laws to enforce for peace and safety. Put the mobile radar van there on weekend nights.

Here it is, February 2014, and the willful street noise continues with increasingly loud motorcycles heard for a full mile along Broadway centered on Columbus. Add to that the sub-woofer crowd of noise polluters and you have a real mix of irritating people riding in their "look at me" vehicles. Come on, law enforcement, I'm more likely to go nuts and confront one of these people that I am to get accosted while in my home. Put some effort into openly enforcing the Tucson published noise ordinance.

March 2014: high-RPM motorcycle noise is present between 5pm and into the night on Fort Lowell between Swan and at least Alvernon. These guys are reckless and loud!!! Rapid acceleration, riding on one wheel, etc.

The high rpm noise continues. One has to ask why noise machines are legal in the first place.

I fail to understand why this noise issue was closed. The noise problem has not been mitigated and it certainly continues. Who is DB and why did DB close the issue? Perhaps DB owns a motorcycle with loud pipes or has a vehicle sporting a 200 watt sub-woofer.

We got neighbor renters on the NW corner of 4th St./Columbus where a tenant has a very loud motorcycle where it has awaken our newborn at 9p, 11p, 12a and 3a. Our baby startling awakes every time the noisy tenant drives by. We live 3 houses away!
I would GREATLY appreciate authority to resolve this (apparent) issue with noise pollution in our neighborhood especially with renters who couldn't care less about their neighbors.

please help

Just heard several loud engines winding up on Broadway this evening. Are there really that many idiots out there who haven't killed themselves yet?

Hi Dennis,
I'm sorry to hear about your problem and I too have the same neighbor problems in my neighborhood from time to time. However, I don't think this is the correct forum for your concerns. Issues/Complaints here mainly go to the City's Transportation Department. I would suggest calling the Tucson Police Substation for your area, Operations Division Midtown at 520-791-4253 and telling them your concerns and seeing if they will grant your request of posting the mobile radar van for a few nights. You can also call the Community Service Officer for your area, CSO Becky Noel at (520) 837-7428 and voice your concerns. Finally, when you witness racing vehicles and reckless driving, call 911 to report their actions and get as much information for responding officers as possible. (and obviously preferably license plates and addresses of where the vehicles are located)

Thank you, John. Certainly, it seems as if this type of issue is not forwarded by the Transportation Department to the Police department. How difficult would that be? I will take up your advice with the phone numbers suggested. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Dennis.
