A law was already on the books prohibiting pedicabs from playing music or other noise audible from more than 50 feet away, but Monday's passage banned speakers outrightGone are the days of pedicabs blaring Top 40 hits as they ride through downtown San Diego traffic, as the San Diego City Council Monday approved amendments that would — among other things — ban amplified sound equipment from the human-powered cabs.
The amendments to the city code passed Monday also require pedicab operators or drivers to provide an agreed-upon price to customers prior to the ride and offer an itemized receipt as well as having fares and pedicab licenses more prominently displayed as well as extending liability to pedicab owners.Following hundreds of complaints received by Whitburn's office from residents, business owners and tourists alike, the council was clear in its actions, approving the amendments 8-0.
A diverse group commented on the proposed item Monday, including both pedicab owners and operators who felt that not only would this negatively impact their livelihoods, but that they were not the sole reason for loud music downtown. Bars and nightclubs also play music into quiet hours, but they are more strictly regulated about decibel levels.
