this is rediculous! There are too many solicitors in Lakewood now. I have never lived in a community with more door to door sales people....the thought of having to put a no soliciting sign on my home is embarrassing. But it's going on the front door this afternoon!

I personally think 9:00 p.m. is too late, especially in the winter months. 8:00 p.m. is good. Many young children go to bed at 8:00 p.m. and when it is dark out, I am always leery about answering an unexpected caller at the door. In the summer months it is different when it is light out and families are still out and about outside. I wonder if they would consider a time based on season like until 9:00 during the summer months and until 8:00 during Fall and Winter? That is my two cents. :)

The limit should be set by the sun ... that is ... door-to-door soliciting should not extend beyond sunset and preferably 1/2 hour before ... and ... all solicitors should be licensed with that authority plainly visable on their person

Anyone who think that attaching a flier for their preferred political candidate to my front door will magically turn into a vote for that person is sadly out of touch.

We have a 'do not call list' so why not a do not disturb list. NO soliciting at this house, PERIOD.

I agree this is ridiculous, I am trying to put my kids to bed at 8 and would be seriously angry if someone knocked on my door then, although I am angry when they knock on my door at dinner time too.

No solicitation on my doorstep and no calls at dinner unless emergencies.

I can't think of one thing I want to buy from a doorstep solicitor except from school children selling for a neighborhood school. I don't want political or religious solicitors.
Nine PM is too late. I would be in favor of a more stringent ordinance. The daylight suggestion is a good compromise.
