Sound level measurements were recently collected at several residential sites along the Loop 1604 corridor as part of the studies being conducted for the Loop 1604 Environmental Impact Statement.  These homes are representative of the many subdivisions along the corridor that might be affected by traffic noise.  The measurements help determine the baseline sound level environment and are used to validate the noise prediction model that determines the future sound levels.

The Loop 1604 Community Advisory Group (CAG) met March 25, 2010 for their third meeting.  The focus of this meeting was to review and discuss the screening process, draft alternatives, and other materials being prepared for the 2nd Public Scoping Meetings that will be held April 12, 13, and 14.   

This group was formed by the Alamo Regional Mobility Authority to help facilitate the exchange of information, to share concerns and ideas among interest groups and the study team, and to provide feedback on the study process from a community perspective.  The group also helps by reviewing study materials for clarity and effectiveness.  Members of this group provide diverse representation of interests potentially affected by the Loop 1604 transportation improvements.  These interests include business and civic communities, residents and neighborhood associations, educational institutions, environmental groups, and corridor users.
