STONEY TRAIL/EAST FREEWAY UPDATE
Construction of Stoney Trail is proceeding as scheduled with the section from Country Hills Boulevard to Harvest Hills Boulevard to open this fall, and from Harvest Hills Boulevard to Deerfoot Trail to open in 2009. The Northeast section through to 17th Avenue SE is scheduled for completion by November 2009. The project is somewhat ahead of schedule but, as always, timing is weather dependent.
During construction of the northeast section, the Provincial Government has instructed crews to utilize any surplus materials to create berms along the roadway in order to mitigate potential noise impacts for adjacent residents so you may be seeing temporary berms in some areas at this time. The material being used for these berms may be removed at any time should it be required for other uses such as stormwater management or wetland material. The Northeast Stoney Trail project meets all current Provincial standards for noise impacts. Once the project is completed, additional sound studies will be done and if it is found that sound levels exceed the allowable 65 decibels, mitigation measures will be implemented, such as sound walls and/or berming, to bring the noise levels back to acceptable levels.
