EDMONTON — Scott McKeen, a Vespa-riding Edmonton city councillor, has campaigned against loud vehicles for more than a decade. Loud vehicles are by no means a new problem, or one that’s exclusive to Edmonton. Annoyance can result from hearing your neighbours banging around; hearing loss can occur from listening to loud music. He argued his rights were infringed by loud motorcycles, and claimed the authorities weren’t doing enough to stop it. The city has experienced some failures in the quest for quiet; in years past, cops were too busy with collisions to care about loud vehicles, for example.
