As the city filed it
In 2017, the City Council of Edmonton began work on identifying excessive noise locations and utilizing noise-capturing technology that triggers when noise levels exceeded 95 decibels and takes a picture of the vehicle in question for the purposes of mailing a warning or issuing a ticket to repeat noise offenders. I would like your support in requesting staff to report back to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on options to run a similar program here in Toronto, and to include in the report what success, challenges, and associated costs can be expected.
