Noise Bylaw in Edmonton stirs debate

An Edmonton bylaw has captured the interest of municipalities and people across the country who loathe the persistent rumbles and thunderclap starts of motorcycles on their roads.

Calgary is sure to follow with it's own debate.

 

“It’s pretty biased. I’m pretty choked about it,” said Rob Harvey, owner of Edmonton’s Extreme Choppers. “Do police really have that much time for somebody that’s out making noise on the road when there are other people getting stabbed to death?”

 

Dave Thiele, the only city councilor to vote against the noise bylaw, argued the measure is “illogical and discriminatory.” He pointed out Edmonton has approximately 13,000 registered motorcycles, while hundreds of thousands of cars are on the road.

“It’s just discriminatory, period. That’s it.”
