By 14:00, it was clear the calm was gone

Date: 20 March 2026

By 14:00 on Friday, 20 March 2026, it was obvious that whatever had brought a week of relative peace and quiet was temporary.

The frequency of the delivery bikes had increased substantially again, and the day was starting to feel disruptive and frustrating in exactly the way this issue has felt for so long.

The calm has gone

Over the last week, I could feel some of the anxiety starting to leave my body. The street felt calmer. My home felt calmer. I started to believe, cautiously, that maybe something had changed.

Today that feeling has gone. The severe anxiety is back, the frustration is back, and the sense of peace that had started to return has vanished again.

This is not normal

It is not normal for a corporation’s delivery operations to have this much control over how settled I feel inside my own home. It is not normal to feel my mood and my nervous system being pushed around by repeated noise from loud delivery bikes using a residential street.

I am angry that this keeps happening, and I am angry that it still appears to involve the same loud BigBoy Velocity 150 motorbikes that should never have been treated as acceptable for high-frequency residential deliveries in the first place.

We cannot continue like this

The quiet of the last week now looks like a short pause, not a solution. If Checkers Sixty60 is serious about this issue, it needs to act in a durable way: quieter vehicles, better routing, and actual accountability to the people living on this street.

I do not want another temporary break. I want this problem properly addressed.
