TxDOT HORSESHOE PROJECT - CALL TO ACTION

Require TxDOT to include noise abatement in Horseshoe RFP for our neighborhood and future development.

Must build into design a sustainable construction that will minimize noise and air pollutants.

In addition, reduce speed to 50 MPH from Westmoreland Exit across Trinity so drivers can enjoy the beautiful

approach to the Margaret McDermott Signature Bridge, Trinity Lakes and Downtown Dallas.

Reducing speed by 10 mph is like taking 50% of cars off of road*****.

The Horseshoe Project is a critical

transportation project located in

the heart of downtown Dallas that will

be developed through an innovative

design/build approach. The

Horseshoe Project will upgrade the

I-30 Bridge, part of the Mixmaster

and the I-35E bridges (both north and

southbound). Originally a part ofProject Pegasus, which also included

the expansion of Lower Stemmons

and the Canyon area, the new pull-out

project was aptly dubbed the

Horseshoe Project due to its

U-Shape (see map). While this

project evolved out of increasing

necessity (due to its aging

infrastructure) the vision, funding and

unique approach to develop the

project catapulted it to its current

status: Ready for take-off!

Elements central to the successful

development (vision, advanced

planning, funding and delivery

method) occurred through cooperative

communication and coordinated

partnerships between legislators, the

region, the City of Dallas and TxDOT.

Legislators and the region made

funding for the project a priority

designating several sources including

federal funding, Proposition 12 and

Proposition 14 funding, and local

funding.

State legislators also enabled

TxDOT to utilize a new delivery

method of design/build. Delivering

projects through design/build is not

new in the construction industry;

however, it is a new tool for TxDOT.

And now, because of the visionary

thinking of the legislature, taxpayers

will ultimately reap the benefits. The

benefits of delivering projects through

design/build are numerous.

Essentially, it allows projects to be

completed sooner at a much more

economical cost; the very core of

doing more with less. One significant

improvement will be the ability for

motorist traveling eastbound on I-30

to directly access southbound I-35.

The bottom line benefit motori

realize is reduced congestion w

traveling through downtown D

Noise Increases with Vehicle Speed

When Congress allowed states to raise speed limits, and many states did raise speed limits from 55 mph to 65 mph ahigher, highways in these states got noisier. The table below lists the change in the noise made by auotmobiles, medrucks, and heavy trucks as they increase in speed from 30 mph to 70 mph. Raising the speed of an automobile 10 mfrom 55 to 65 mph) increases the noise made by that vehicle 3 dB, from 72 dB to 75 dB. Similarly, noise made byrucks increases from 86 to 88 dB with the same 10 mph increase in speed. In these examples, gas mileage also

decreases by 15%.

The result is a substantial increase in noise for those living and working near highways. Soundwalls are capable ofeducing noise levels by 10 dB, so increased speed limits have also significantly reduced the effectiveness of highw

noise barriers.

Reducing speed limits on roadways and increasing enforcement of speed limits is often the most effective and costfficient means of reducing noise. For example, reducing vehicle speeds from 40 to 30 mph is as effective as remov

one half the vehicles from the roadway.
