Sincerely, Judith Schneider, Secretary 1 Petition to the Owasso City Council 6 Sound barrier for the Southern Links Addition along 86th Street We, the following undersigned homeowners of Southern Links Subdivision are experiencing severe noise problems from the increased traffic along 8& street. With the plan to expand 86th street and the anticipation of ever increasing traffic we are concerned that the noise will become intolerable. There is also the increased risk of accidental encroachment of vehicles into the yards of the homeowners along 86"' street. This is due to the close proximity of the street with major truck and car traffic with the fencing. Even now homeowners with property immediately adjacent to the street are finding daily living to be difficult, and the entire subdivision could suffer significant devaluation of the homes if this situation is not corrected. Therefore we respectfully petition the Owasso City Council and other decision making bodies to strongly consider the construction of a decorative concrete sound barrier on the north side of Southern Links which runs along 86 h street.
