In 2013, Alderman Reilly sponsored a Chicago Ordinance in response to many citizen complaints that drag racers and motorcycle muffler systems had been altered from the federally required originally labeled systems.  The "label matching" process had been developed by the U. S Environmental Protection Agency in the 1980s to make it feasible for local law enforcement officials to enforce noise regulations, without the need for noise measuring equipment or extensive training.  

When one altered muffler system can disturb the sleep of several thousand families at 2am, it is necessary that enforcement of these Chicago Ordinances 9-76-140 and 9-100-020 must be a higher priority.  WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP our New Eastside neighborhood?  When your life is disrupted by vehicle noise, CALL 911 AND REPORT EVERY DISTURBANCE (anonymously if requested).  The police devote resources based on the frequency of complaints. Also advise Alderman Reilly's office by email of the continuing noise violations, with a copy to NE...@neweastside.org

In response to complaints from New Eastside residents, NEAR was in frequent contact with, and sent videos documenting the problem to the Chicago Police Department and Ald. Reilly.  NEAR also worked cooperatively with the Streeterville Organization of Active Residents (SOAR), who developed a "Noise Survey", that provided additional data on the impacts of the vehicle noise problems. 

The New Eastside residents would like to thank Alderman Reilly for providing the leadership to solve the very disruptive motorcycle and car drag racing noise problems that have existed, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings during the warmer weather....on Middle Wacker, Middle Randolph, around Lakeshore East Park, and on Lakeshore Drive.  Alderman Reilly's proposal to make the area a "NO CRUISING" zone would also provide CPD another option for ticketing vehicles that pass the area more than once.
