Resident urges Boardwalk to quiet Typhoon ride; suggests mufflers
Summary
During oral communications, Robert Stefan told the Planning Commission the Typhoon ride at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk emits a persistent, high‑pitched noise that fills nearby neighborhoods and urged the city or operator to modify or replace its sound system.
Robert Stefan addressed the commission during oral communications on March 19, saying the Typhoon ride at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk produces a long, high‑pitched "whiny siren type note" that fills adjacent neighborhoods. He said the ride "was supposed to be within the sound levels of the other rides, but it's not" and suggested the operator could install better mufflers or otherwise modify the ride to reduce noise.
Commissioners thanked Stefan for his comment; no action or formal referral to staff was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The item was a public comment only; staff and commissioners acknowledged the concern but did not take formal steps during this session.
