City of Fridley Minnesota - Livability


Fridley has a history of plopping noisy industrial
operations next to existing residential neighborhoods.

Target Distribution Center's backup-beeper noise -- morning,
day and and night -- penetrates closed windows.

There are noisy air-exchangers in my neighborhood.
There were at least two wrongly engineered air exchangers
running at illegal levels as of July 2025. I don't regularly
monitor them, regardless of this website's update status.

June 20, 2026:
Mercy Hospital's air exchanger is running at an extremely
illegal level -- 10 decibels over the legal limit during
the day and 20 decibels over the legal limit at night.
This has been the case since April of 2024.

The above map of our 0.5 mile by 0.8 mile neighborhood indicates the credible, intelligent residents who have made a public complaint about Target Distribution Center's yard-truck backup beepers.

For many years, Target's yard-truck beepers have been penetrating this neighborhood about fifty percent of the time, at any time of the day or night, seven days a week.

Target's yard-truck beepers account for more than 98 percent of backup beeper noise in this neighborhood.

This is not a neighborhood for having a window open,
enjoying one's porch or patio, or being outside.

   Target's yard is fenced, gated and guarded.

   There is no unsuspecting public strolling
   through the Target yard.

   There are alternative backing alarms
   available to Target.
