Episode Notes This week, Montrealers have their last chance to share their opinions on a pair of new noise bylaws, tabled last month in the nightlife-heavy Plateau Mont Royal and Ville Marie boroughs. The city is putting in place clear decibel limits, and giving staffers the tools for how to measure them. City officials say the bylaw review is a way to clarify the rules and responsibilities around noise, and better protect venues like the historic La Tulipe from noise-related closures. But nightlife actors say those changes won’t change the reality on the ground, as long as police officers are still able to use their discretion. And the nightlife sector is raising the alarm over a major increase in fines, as venues could be hit with a $10,000 penalty for a first offence. Joining CKUT to discuss are Max Honigmann with Montreal 24/24, and Sergio Da Silva, owner of Turbo Haus and part owner of Blue Dog, which just closed last week.
