OTTAWA — The final night of Folkfest prompted another flood of calls to the City, overloading its 311 hotline.

Residents of areas like the Glebe and Old Ottawa South complained they could hear, but also feel the bass from Sunday’s festival finale.

“When we can cite to people there were 11 complaints and they think ‘oh, that’s not a lot’ — that’s the number of people who were able to get through and actually chose to file a complaint,” said Capital ward Coun. David Chernushenko.

“I don’t know what the numbers were last night, but I did hear the system was overloaded again,” he said.

Chernushenko has also been hearing from constituents about noise and bass drifting up the Rideau Canal. He says while Thursday through Saturday were relatively calm, Sunday night was a repeat of the festival’s opening.

“Where it’s…more than an annoyance, really a disturbance, is when your doors are closed, your windows are closed — you may even be watching TV and you’ve got your own sound on — and you’re still feeling this whoomp-whoomp-whoomp,” Chernushenko told 1310News.

Chernushenko says he’s heard and is tired of the comments and an attitude that his ward is full of perpetual complainers.

“It frustrates me that some people get off on thinking they can make smart-alec comments like that about downtown residents,” said Chernushenko. “We’re in a big city; we should have a little bit more sympathy for each other.”
