Bus screeching must come to a halt


"Ever since the city began running long buses down Lefferts Blvd, no one in my area of Kew Gardens has gotten a good night's sleep. The buses, coming around the curve or going down the hill between Metropolitan Ave and 85th avenue, screech as loudly as an out of control car just before it crashes into a another vehicle. The noise level is unbelievable, and writing to my city councilwoman Koslowitz apparently does no good, as she does not even have the decency to respond to complaints. Either ban these buses or give them brake systems appropriate to the new size of the buses." - Anonymous

Download the noise monitor app to your phone (Sound Meter Pro by Smart Tools Company). The DEP is responsible for noise enforcement... see http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/noise/index.shtml. As usual, enforcement is a bitch - but call 311, get complaint number, follow up with complaint number, get a complaint number for DEP non-responsiveness, repeat.
