Covina : Sound Walls Near Depot
Residents may be allowed to build their own sound barriers if they live near Citrus Avenue, where a commuter rail station will be constructed. Under the city’s proposal, homeowners will be allowed to build 10-foot walls on the side of their properties nearest the railroad tracks.
But the City Council on Tuesday continued the vote on the matter until after the new council is seated after Tuesday’s election.
The Los Angeles County Transportation Commission is building a rail line from Los Angeles to San Bernardino, and will begin operation in October. However, the commission is not building sound barriers along the route.
