“Tens of thousands of residents, many of whom are senior citizens or
have young children at home, are experiencing unprecedented and truly
unbelievable levels of noise from a variety of large, concurrent construction
sites. We all recognize the need for the city to grow and prosper, but
not at the expense of destroying the right of citizens to live peaceably with
their families in their own homes. Development should not take precedence over
the health and welfare of those who rely on the city to respect and protect
their well-being.”
