I am so glad to hear this. I hope it’s enforced. For those of us with small children, sick elderly parents and pets who are afraid of fireworks this is great news.
There have already been several violations where I live. It’s pathetic the disregard that people have for rules. It’s a lawless city anyway. Some of us have to go to work and actually sleep at night. Not to mention veterans that have fought for this country don’t need to be listening to sounds similar of a war zone. Pathetic.
