Mines Park Noise from US-6 Rumble Strips
City of Golden (CG) completed the US-6 and 19th intersection around the beginning of Fall 2017. When summer hit and we had to open our windows (no ac in our unit) we've realized that the rumble strips were creating excessive noise. Causing us to lose sleep in the night and forcing us to choose between living in a very hot or a very noisy unit in the morning.
We've contacted CG and CDOT at the beginning of Fall 2018 so the issue can be remedied before summer. Apparently other residents in the area were suffering from the noise as well. We've been told that they did a general noise study but not specifically for the strips (see attached), and these type of extra noisy strips are known to affect locals. CG and CDOT did not fix the issue yet.
I understand that the wildlife must be protected. I love seeing the elk herd in our area. However, there are alternative ways of warning the drivers and the animals without making the residents suffer.
This is a noise pollution issue and Mines Administration and EHS dept should look into it and fix it before summer.
