Limewood Circle was developed prior to I-71's existence, and traffic noise levels have continually increased as this interstate’s use has grown. Since the recent I-71 Northbound merge lane extension (from I-264 East onto I-71 North), residents are now experiencing even higher traffic noise levels including vehicle acceleration/deceleration, semi- truck "jake" brakes, rescue vehicle sirens, car stereos, etc. This increased noise is especially noticeable at night and very early in the mornings, causing sleep disturbances. In addition, the excessive noise levels prevent residents from enjoying their properties and the use of our neighborhood’s recreation area throughout the day.
All of us in support of this petition ask that the State of Kentucky approve our request to fund this project in the 2016 biennial budget.
We have great common space that would be much more utilized if a sound barrier would be installed!!
