Lansing City Council Considers Noise Rules; Airport Outlines 20-Year Plan
What happened
Lansing City Council members are scheduled to hold a public hearing on an amended noise ordinance, which would replace decibel measures with a plainly audible standard at various distances depending on the time of day. Separately, Capital Region International Airport leaders plan to present a 20-year master plan. Also this week, former Michigan State University resident physician Arpit Saxena is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in East Lansing regarding multiple allegations of sexual assault.
