MAJOR ISSUES
· Air and noise pollution.
. Aesthetics of soundwalls, retaining walls, new structures
· Closure and/or relocation of existing ramps to satisfy current
design standards. As part of this issue, the effect on trips
diverted to local street system must be addressed and possible
mitigation (e.g. extension of Ne~,~ort Boulevard to Edinger
Avenue) must be studied.
. Acquisition of new R/W relocation requirements.
· ~raffi¢ disruption during construction.
· Compatibility of alternatives with duture widening in OCTC's
long-range plans.
· Possible impacts (especially noise) to St. Jeanne De Lesto~mac
School (a private parochial school).
· Possible impacts on Utt Park and Prentice Park Zoo.
