Good news at a time when transit systems are inadequate and thousands of bridges are on the verge of failure:

Loud Motorcycles Destroy Neighborhood Livability in New Haven

Interesting quality of life discussion about loud motorcycles here:

Unfortunately, officers seem to be busy during the worst hours of noise (e.g., 2 A.M.). Are there ways to stop loud motorcycles without resorting to increased police enforcement? One neighborhood resident wrote:

I have been told many a time that they will address the noise on Upper State with no follow through.

Every year there are more of them and they are louder.
