Ever been to a bar that has a large outdoor area? If you've been down to Rainey Street, you know that each business is built to have people outside. Failure to turn off music has resulted in tickets to bars and employees. We cannot survive if we have to turn off music at random times while we are still open.
If you would like to see this overturned, please let the Austin City Council know by signing this petition.

I have been spent the last few days talking with bar owners whose livelihoods are currently unraveling because of these sudden enforcement actions. They are terrified that the streets will go silent and empty while our customers are still trying to enjoy the night air. Please keep posting your own stories about this area so the council understands that this is about more than just background noise.

Seeing this kind of energy behind our neighborhood bars is overwhelming because I know how hard my friends have worked to build these spaces. This momentum proves that I am not the only one who refuses to let the spirit of our street be silenced. We are finally being seen and heard by the city.

Seems that people move to a street which has built around entertainment and then complain about the very thing the area was built on. There are plenty of suburban house's to appease those type of people. The very fabric of the great town is being systematically detroyed by the influx of people moving here.
I am a sound engineer on Rainey. Not only is this massive inconvenience for me, but all of the bands are getting upset when I tell them "sorry guys you can't turn your amps past "2" because the police will give us a ticket" the live music capital is now the the communist republic of Austin
this street is a glorious representation of Austin, and pumps so much revenue into the economy, DESPITE obstacles, such as parking and ongoing construction. it would be a shame to destroy it.
dont move next to a bar and then bitch about the noise. This is a service industry town these regulations endanger people's ability to support themselves!
We're the live music capital of the world. How about the Rainey Street bars upgrade the windows in existing residences that are affected. The high rise and new hotel residents should already have sufficient noise protection. Those times are absurd and will hurt these local business and affect the Rainey nightlife.

If this sort of thing happens to Austin and word gets out about how uptight of a city we are becoming, the title of "Music Capital of the World" will go to another city without question.
