UNDERSTANDING NOISE WALLS AND NOISE MITIGATION
Below are types of noise mitigation that Sound Transit can use to help reduce noise along Link light rail alignments. Elevated sound walls • Installed close to the track • Made of stainless steel or aluminum • Inside surface absorbs sound • Wall heights range from four feet to 10 feet over the elevated deck • Provide noise reduction up to 15 decibels
Elevated sound barriers • Thick plastic/rubber sheets used on elevated guideway • Used when less than 10 decibels noise reduction is needed
At-grade sound walls • Typical sound walls seen along the freeways • Made of concrete or engineered composites • Wall heights can range from eight feet to 26 feet • Provide noise reduction up to 15 decibels
11.16 RIDGECREST PARK
The Lynnwood Link Extension alignment runs along the western edge of Ridgecrest Park in Shoreline. This means: • The alignment affects a berm and row of mature cottonwoods that currently screens Interstate 5 from the park • A noise wall and landscaping will separate the light rail guideway from the park • Replacement park space and parking will be provided as mitigation for lost park space and existing parking Coordination with the City of Shoreline Sound Transit and the City of Shoreline are working together to ensure the park remains an enjoyable gathering place for the community after construction.
