Farmer's Korner Noise Wall Decision

With the four-laning of Highway 9 near Farmer's Korner (just north of Breckenridge) scheduled for next summer, the one thing that residents of the Farmer's Grove subdivision could agree on is that all the new noise would need to be mitigated.

What wasn't decided was whether a landscaped berm or a concrete wall was the best solution to the new problem.

Yesterday, residents, county officials and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) agreed on a combination solution. Where there is enough width for a landscaped berm, that is what will be built, and where room gets more scarce, CDOT will build a berm and wall combination.
