Feedback has been pouring into city hall after the Civic Works Committee (CWC) discussed changes to the Sound By-law that would further limit the use of gas powered lawn equipment.
Coun. Skylar Franke admits she was surprised by the number of comments she received.
“People either really want to mow their lawn whenever they feel like it, or they’re actually very supportive of this because they’re annoyed with neighbours that use leaf blowers at 9 p.m. when they’re trying to go to bed,” Franke explained.
On Wednesday, the Civic Works Committee (CWC) recommended holding a public meeting in July to consider reducing the hours when gas powered lawn equipment can be used.
Currently, the Sound By-law restricts the use of all lawn maintenance equipment to between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.
The proposal by Franke would limit gas-powered mowers, blowers and trimmers to between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Operating hours for electric lawn equipment would not change.
