Saskatoon Lakeview residents pressure city for sound barrier along Highway 16
Posted on October 7, 2010 by Norm Fisher, Royal LePage Vidorra
Some Lakeviewarea residents are pushing the city of Saskatoon for a sound attenuation wall along Highway 16 between Circle Drive and Boychuk Drive. Residents who back the highway say that the noise is unbearable and needs to be dealt with soon.
The city has spent nearly $25 million on sound walls over the past few years but says that while the stretch of road along the south edge of Lakeview is a high on the priority list, the money needed to complete the near $5 million dollar project isn’t in the budget at this time.
