Sound Walls on Next CVTC Meeting Agenda

The Crescenta Valley Town Council is having a virtual general meeting on Thursday, June 18 when it will receive a sound wall presentation from the LA County Dept. of Public Works on its progress, the findings from a noise barrier scope summary report, and what the next steps will be. 

The noise barrier report includes recommendations that are based on noise level criteria, cost and barrier locations. With an additional $6 million Measure R funding provided by LA Metro, the opportunity is available to expand the sound wall development.   

The CV Town Council, through the Streets and Transportation Committee, has been coordinating and receiving presentations for the past 3½ years from LA Metro and County Public Works in collaboration with Caltrans to initiate the 210 Freeway sound wall project scope. This program effort was to assess the freeway noise affecting residential communities along the 210 Freeway Corridor from Pennsylvania Avenue to Ocean View Boulevard. The sound wall will function as noise barriers for those residential neighborhoods according to the engineering report. Caltrans staff contacted residents to inform them of the noise (decibel) recordings that were conducted over a month to collect the data. The analysis is now complete, identifying the size, cost and priority locations.
