October 17, 2025, Update for Urge EPA & MoDOT to Construct a Sound Wall Along Highway 270

October 17, 2025, Update for Urge EPA & MoDOT to Construct a Sound Wall Along Highway 270 for Noise Reduction

Please note I have discovered one piece of important information published in the “Missouri Department of Transportation Traffic Noise Policy”, which states, Type II projects:

Noise abatement will be considered along existing highways if all of the criteria under the paragraph labeled Type II are met.

I have prepared a letter to Governor Kehoe, Notice of Intent to Pursue the Issue of Sound Mitigation with the EPA. Currently, this letter is under feedback review with Quiet Communities, Inc., which is a nonprofit advocating for a reduction in pollution to improve public health and quality of life.

If you are interested in reading and providing feedback on the Notice of Intent to Pursue the Issue of Sound Mitigation with the EPA before I mail it. Please email me your request to DrJAustell@gmail.com with the subject line :

Email me a copy of “Notice of Intent to Pursue the Issue of Sound Mitigation”.

Thank you,

Janet
