TRANSPORTATION REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES 12/09/2003
January 13, 2004
Mr. Mike Lepore
Delaware Motor Transport Association
1184 S Governors Ave
Dover, DE 19901
Dear Mr. Lepore:
During the Regular Meeting of the City of Dover Transportation Review Committee,
members considered correspondence received from a resident of North Little Creek Road regarding
noise pollution and trespassing caused by trucks using the exit ramp off of Route 1 Bypass (Exit 98)
to Route 8. More specifically, the noise complaints appear to be a result of the use of brake
retardation systems and/or noise caused by modifications made to or faulty muffler systems.
Another resident who lives in the area of North Little Creek Road also spoke to the
committee about noise being made by trucks traveling between Route 1 and Route 13. You may
recall, an earlier discussion you had with the City’s Transportation Review Committee about similar
complaints.
After discussing various alternatives for controlling noise within the City it was the
consensus of members that the Delaware Motor Transport Association (DMTA) be contacted to
provide notification to their membership of the City’s concerns and to encourage truckers to make
sure their exhaust systems are in proper compliance with federal regulations. Members would also
request that the DMTA alert its membership to the need for greater noise abatement throughout the
City of Dover.
May I suggest that you contact the Chairman of the Transportation Review Committee,
Mr. Eugene B. Ruane, at 674-1829 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
William P. McGlumphy
Council President
