Although Mayor Bloomberg has stated in the press that he would sign Council Member Brewer’s Tour Bus bill it is urgent that we let him know that this bill,  Intro 182, is one that we the people of NYC want.   We believe the bill is a fair one for both the tour bus industry  regarding installation time and for  the protection of citizens from unreasonable noise from the tour bus amplification systems.
It will only take a minute of your time  to call, fax, email or write the Mayor.  Â
Please ask your colleagues, Â friends and neighbors to contact him also:

Suggested Written message:
I urge you to sign Intro 182, a bill requiring tour bus companies with open-air double-decker buses to install headphone limited sound reproduction systems in those buses by 2015. I believe the bill is a fair one which allows the bus industry sufficient time for the Installation and implementation of the sound systems, while also providing some relief and protection of citizens from the amount of noise the buses bring to our neighborhoods
PHONE 311 (We tried this, it really works! Simply tell the dispatcher you want to leave a message for the Mayor and the person will write it down and send it to the Mayor’s Office)Â
Suggested 311 message:Â Please sign Intro 182, A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to sound reproduction devices on sight-seeing buses.
And finally, you are all invited  on MAY 18th to what we hope will be the Mayor’s signing of this and other  legislation. Â

Time:Â Â 4:30 Â PM.
