A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ARCADIA URGING THE CALIFORNIA
DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS CONSTRUCT NOISE
BARRIERS ALONG ROUTE 210 WITHIN THE CITY
OF ARCADIA.
WHEREAS, a petition of interested property owners residing
adjacent to the Route 210 Freeway between Santa Anita Avenue east
to Fifth Avenue was submitted to the California Division of
Highways on May 21, 1973 requesting construction of noise barriers
along such Freeway in that area as a noise mitigation measure; and
WHEREAS, the Division of Highways reply of June 18, 1973
advised that it had developed a noise control policy in 1970 which
provided for noise mitigation measures on new and widened freeways
\
under certain circumstances, but that there was no provision in
said policy for noise mitigation on freeways, such as the section
of Route 210 referred to above, which were constructed prior to
1970, nor could Federal funds be used since that portion had already
been landscaped; and
WHEREAS, this City Council is acutely aware of the
plight of its citizens residing adjacent to the Freeway transversing
Arcadia where noise barriers are lacking and desire to express
its concern and urge the Division of Highways to reconsider its
policy of 1970 and give the affected property owners and residents
the relief requested;'
