LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- The city of Lansing may restrict the hours that ice cream peddlers may sell treats because of noise complaints.

The Lansing State Journal reports City Council is considering an ordinance amendment that would set the hours vendors can do business from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m or sunset, whichever is earlier.

Ray Forest has sold ice cream for the past four years and said "nothing good" can come from restricted business hours.

Councilman Eric Hewitt said he began pushing for the restricted hours after constituents told him they were hearing chimes and music from vendors past 10 p.m. In the past, the city did not specify hours of operation.

A public hearing was held this week. The council's public safety committee could discuss the matter Tuesday.
