Could you elaborate more, you know, what could be prevented for noise, pollution, sand, dirt, anything Can you really elaborate more on that, please MR. BERTOULIS: We're working on our right of way plans right now. They'll be available. We're working on our right of way plans right now and they'll be ready for the state to review later this month, sometime early next year on any areas that will have a right of way impact. And the good thing about this project is we do not look at any permanent land takings although there are a few locations where they'll need construction period easements and the Whittier Point Condo area is one of them, they'll build that wall. So there will be some specific meetings with those land owners, I believe it's an association of the land owners, the four units there, plus I believe the house on the street. So they'll be contacted, coordinated with. There will be appropriate controls put in place to make sure through the construction period easements, you know, what will be required, what are the conditions, you know, how they can make sure that the people who live there can live there, you know, and maintain their protection in ATM, Inc 339-674-9100

But you know, for that group that will happen sometime early next year when they need to go out and have those discussions. MR. GILDAY: Thank you. MR. KING: Dan King, Laurel Road. In your presentation you mentioned that the area doesn't warrant sound intervention. In previous meetings there was talk of reusing the sound barrier that exists there now. Additionally the sound barriers are bermed, the land area is bermed which gives us most of the sound protection, and by putting the shared trail on it, obviously it's going to bring it back even further to the east and take out a green area that's between our houses and the highway. So what is the plan for sound mitigation There's talk of reusing the sound barrier but that's not being mentioned at all. I'm just trying to get a handle on what is going to happen. MR. BERTOULIS: That's a good question. The project from the economic model that gets run in terms of how much it costs for a foot of wall to deal with the protection that it gives, it doesn't -- the project area does not meet the requirements to ATM, Inc 339-674-9100
