Dear Kalispell City Council Members,
There has been a noted increase in Kalispell city street noise in the last 2 years. Primarily it's trucks/cars willfully revving
their engines. It is loud, continued and an unnecessary disturbance to the peace and quiet of many neighborhoods. It is
keeping me from sleeping. With the increase in population, I don't foresee general noise getting quieter, but if this
continued revving of engines stopped, that would be a big help. It doesn't seem that the higher price of gas is making a
difference!
I attempted to look up a Kalispell city noise ordinance, but could not find one.
1. Is there a noise ordinance?
2. If not, could one be voted in?
Appreciate your help in making Kalispell a good place to live.
