Dear Engineer Dept. -
I have lived in the Devonshire Sub-Division since the early 1990's, and while we have always
had the airport noise, of which I do call in and report both to the City of Coppell, as well
as, to the Airport - This new road noise is very disturbing on a lot of different levels. We are
now hearing the road noise all hours of the day and night, but, especially at night. Did
someone forget to budget for the sound barrier walls when the new highways were being built,
as well as all the trees that were being removed and will continue to be removed for the
new housing developments going in around us. The noise is so loud that I have to wear ear
plugs to try and focus during the day while I am working and at night to try and sleep. We also
are now unable to go out onto our patio with our families and friends due to the high decimal
levels of noise. It is no longer the peaceful Coppell we all once knew. I have to question if the
airplanes are even this bad. On a bad day, yes, without a doubt, the airplanes can give this
new road noise a run for it's money but at night when the incoming flights settle down - you are
at least able to enjoy your evening unless there is a really low ceiling.
I would like to know what the City's plans are on this. Also, as well, what is currently in place
to help us to get the "Ole' Peaceful Coppell Feel" back - where we enjoy having our
outdoor get-togethers with friends and family in our small wonderful community know as
"Coppell". Also another great thing would be able to sleep with no ear plugs and work with no
ear plugs
Some of us have talked and feel like this has and will continue to have an affect on the value
of our homes. We originally bought into Coppell because we felt our investments would be a
solid investment and Coppell had the feeling of a small town that a lot of us grew up in.
Please have someone contact me by the end of next week to discuss what is in place
to correct this problem for the Wonderful Citizens of Devonshire and of Coppell.
Thank you,
Donna Ort
