Plateau proposes noise bylaw changes to balance nightlife and residents' needs

A new bylaw is being proposed in Montreal's Plateau-Mont-Royal borough to address noise complaints, especially during the streak of warm weather. Borough Mayor Luc Rabouin highlighted the increase in noise issues and presented measures to balance residents' right to quiet with the vibrancy of local nightlife. The proposal includes setting decibel limits and enforcing rules after 11 p.m. while considering business owners and event organizers. Public consultation is scheduled to gather input before finalizing the policy, aiming to ensure both residents and visitors enjoy the borough harmoniously.
