I was very encouraged by “City’s noise law lowers volume of auto stereos” (Metro, April 13) and the large number of cars impounded by the police for violating this ordinance. This new ordinance is of extreme importance in improving the quality of life of Chicago residents, as well as improving the city’s image to attract more tourists and suburbanites.
But two more problems of equal importance to loud car radios are the deafening noise from motorcyclists and the excessive honking of car horns. These two disruptive, and completely unnecessary, actions have a serious destructive consequence on city living and working.
Overall, I am encouraged by the efforts of Mayor Richard Daley and the Chicago Police Department to bring civility to our streets again, and I am glad to see so much being done to raise the quality of life in Chicago.
