Why are no soundwalls planned along the alignment during construction?
The environmental document studied noise barriers near residences along Storey Avenue, Armistead Road, Officer Family Housing and Lyon Street. The study concluded that a noise barrier at all but one of these locations was infeasible according to Caltrans protocol. A soundwall would be feasible at Armistead Road,; however, it was determined that a soundwall at this location would be inconsistent with the natural and cultural landscape and that the benefits would not outweigh the negative effects.
