<br />
<br />e
<br />
<br />CoJJin Eid, 4526 Pleasant Drive, stated he and his neighbors are concerned with the level of
<br />traffic noise at the southwest Comer of the intersection of Lexington A venue and Highway 96,
<br />near their homes. He added that in working with local, regional and state planners on the
<br />possibility of installing a benn as a noise barrier in that location, it came to his attention that a
<br />City monument sign was proposed for that location, with a budget of $25,000, He asked whether
<br />the Council had any plans for a benn sound barrier and City sign at that location.
<br />
<br />Mayor Probst stated a bUdget of$30,000 had originally been set aside for such a project;
<br />however, the current Council has not taken the issue up and it is not included in the current
<br />budgct. Mr. Post stated there had been some discussion, with regard to a gateway sign, that a
<br />more appropriate location might be thc entrance of a new City hall facility.
<br />
<br />Mayor Probst noted that the possibility of a berm had been discussed, although not as a noise
<br />barrier but to increase the elevation of the sign.
