Calgary residents, city councillor push for changes to Stampede tent noise exemptions
Article content Residents of a downtown Calgary apartment building located directly across the street from Cowboys Park previously told Postmedia that the area surrounding their building had become a hot spot for disorderly behaviour as thousands of festival-goers poured out of the venue each night. Article content Mark Young said he observed a steady stream of festival-goers stopping to urinate on the side of his building as they departed the site. '(The festival) goes way later than it should,' Young said at the time. Article content David Mallozzi, who lives on the 22nd floor of Discovery Pointe Condos on 6th Avenue, said noise levels were 'a pain' throughout the festival and that many in his building were left 'in disbelief' about the noise soon after the festival started. He said the problem is worse for residents living on upper floors. Article content 'You don't hear it a lot if you're on the ground level, but as soon as you start going above the 9th floor . . . it is almost like you're right next to it. It is very loud,' he said. Article content Article content What's especially frustrating, Mallozzi said, is that he observed most festival attendees exit the venue shortly after midnight each night, yet music continued to blast into early morning hours for 'a small handful of remaining patrons.' Article content Mallozzi is now among residents advocating for earlier cutoff times for the noise in future years — at least by midnight, he said. Article content 'It's realistic to ask for an earlier time frame, particularly on the weekdays when . . . there's still people working,' he said. 'We don't feel like it's necessary to keep the party going every day until 1:30 (or) 2 in the morning.' Article content Mallozzi said videos of the site he took throughout the festival show 'a very strong correlation' that most festival attendees exited by midnight. He plans to submit the videos as part of an upcoming Ward 7 community engagement session on Aug. 19. Article content Article content A large portion of Cowboys Park remains fenced off following this year's Cowboys Music Festival. The city said Wednesday it expects the park to reopen 'sometime in the next week.' Article content The park has been closed for more than a month to accommodate festival set up and teardown, but was expected to reopen by the end of July. Article content The city attributed the delayed reopening to recent rainfall and said some areas within the park may need to remain fenced off to the public for landscaping. Article content Article content 'With the rain, the grass and dirt are softer than usual, and when you add in heavy foot traffic like Folk Fest, you can expect to see more turf damage,' the city said. 'This is not surprising, but it will take a bit longer to recover the grass in those locations.'
