14 Determine if a Type I project The construction of a highway on new location; or, The physical alteration of an existing highway where there is either: Substantial Horizontal Alteration Substantial Vertical Alteration The addition of a through-traffic lane(s) The addition of an auxiliary lane, except for when the auxiliary lane is a turn lane; or, The addition or relocation of interchange lanes or ramps added to a quadrant to complete an existing partial interchange; or, Restriping existing pavement for the purpose of adding a throughtraffic lane or an auxiliary lane; or, The addition of a new or substantial alteration of a weigh station, rest stop, ride-share facility, or toll plaza. 15
15 A Brief Overview of the Traffic Noise Process The major objectives of a traffic noise analysis are to: Identify areas where possible noise impacts may occur for each project alternative. Consider and evaluate abatement measures to mitigate these impacts. Propose implementation of feasible and reasonable abatement measures. Communicate the results to the public and local officials. Important: it is never too early to discuss possible noise abatement 16

33 Noise Workshop Purpose: to provide sufficient information to owners of property adjacent to a proposed noise barrier(s) that will allow these owners to make an informed vote for or against the proposed noise barrier(s). 33
34 Sample Ballot NOISE BARRIER BALLOT SH 286 EXPANSION and SH 358 INTERCHANGE PROJECT NOISE WORKSHOP, May 23, 2000 In conjunction with the SH 286 expansion and SH 358 interchange project, the Texas Department of Transportation proposes to construct a noise barrier within the right-ofway west of SH 286 between Gollihar Road and Mansheim Drive. However, the proposed noise barrier cannot be constructed without the approval, by majority vote, of adjacent property owners. 1. Do you own property adjacent to the right-of-way west of SH 286 between Gollihar Road and Mansheim Drive? YES NO 2. FULL NAME (please print) ADDRESS TELEPHONE NO. 3. Are you for or against the construction of the proposed noise barrier within the rightof-way west of SH 286 between Gollihar Road and Mansheim Drive? Only one vote is allowed for each property. FOR AGAINST This vote is final. 4. Comments (use reverse if necessary): SIGNATURE (required) DATE The ballot must be completed and signed by the property owner of record. If possible, please bring your completed and signed ballot to the Noise Workshop. If you are not able to attend the Noise Workshop, please send your completed and signed ballot (must be postmarked no later than ) to: Texas Department of Transportation, Attention:..P.O. Box 9907, Corpus Christi, TX, ) Adjacent property owners will be notified of the results of the vote for or against the proposed noise barrier after all ballots have been received and counted. 34
35 Mailing Mailing preferably by prestamped/preaddressed return envelope include a description of the noise barrier and the noise effects with and without the barrier. Include a description of the decision making process that TxDOT will follow to assess the survey/ballot results and make a decision on whether to build the barrier. Include an invitation to the meeting with the location and time 35
