PA Residents Struggling with Turnpike Noise

Don’t just think the PA Turnpike noise issues are only affecting us in Glenmoore…other communities along the turnpike are voicing concerns to their State Senators and the PA Turnpike Commission. One of these communities is on Boone Way in Lansdale, PA. Residents there are fighting for sound barriers along their section of the Northeast PA Turnpike extension. Last week residents of Boone Way met with Senator Wanderling, Kate Harper and the PA Turnpike Commission regarding how they perform sound decibel tests.

The Reporter, a local newspaper, along with NBC10 reporter, Dawn Timmeny, were on site for interviews and to hear first hand the awful traffic sounds along their residential street.

A resident of Boone Way took video footage of the traffic and the noise it produces at different times of the day.
