At their regular meeting on April 13, the Moab City Council discussed a proposed noise control ordinance draft for the city. The ordinance covers potential noise pollution from musical instruments to construction, but the primary subject of debate is the section on vehicular noise. The Grand County Commission also debated the issue of vehicular noise at two workshops last week, focusing on limiting fleet sizes and changing land-use codes. “The City of Moab is facing an excessive noise problem. The council has heard from citizens that their sleep is being affected, they can’t open their windows at night, and in general their health is being affected as well as their enjoyment of their property,” said City Attorney Laurie Simonson. “The council has also heard that the noise is keeping people from visiting Moab, so it’s affecting our economy.”
