Summary
A Lapeer resident told commissioners that some motorcycles at the weekly Friday "bike night" have recently revved loudly late into the evening and asked the city to contact event organizers about noise and timing.
At the public-comment period of the June 16 Lapeer City Commission meeting, resident Bernadette Treece asked commissioners to raise concerns with bicycle and motorcycle event organizers about noisy behavior late Friday nights.
"I almost hate to bring this up because I would say 99% of the bikers are very considerate... but the last two Friday nights, as bikes were leaving, they were very, very loud and very annoying," Treece said. She described repeated revving near lights at Nipissing and Genesee and said the disturbance typically occurs between about 9:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. She asked that the city contact the person in charge of the event so organizers can pass the complaint to riders.
Commissioners did not take formal action during the meeting but the item was heard during the public comment portion; Treece said she supported the event generally and only requested that organizers remind participants to moderate noise late at night.
