General Urban Waterloo Updates and Rumours

[ijmorlan]

Noise and pollution are the usual complaints.

I mean, I wouldn't call them "complaints" they are legitimate harms that gas leaf blowers create.

Whether you feel they are worth a ban (or some other policy) is a matter of opinion, but that they are harms, is not an opinion.

Just because they’re legitimate doesn’t mean they’re not complaints.

We may be too used to people complaining about bogus stuff like a second door on their neighbour’s house, or losing a lane for their car to good bicycle infrastructure. But there are lots of perfectly valid or at least colorable complaints.
