how?

[Bilyclub]

A petition is just a waste of paper. The Turnpike Authority will eventually expand and they will build an ugly sound wall.

Is the turnpike brand new since the residents moved in?

[PugMom]

yeah, i wanted to give a respectful reply, but really? i'd have thought residents would've considered this before the move. maybe it's in the eye of the beholder? it doesn't bother me, i grew up in the city, & lived there many years. to me, it's quiet, lol.
but seriously, how would the OP suggest resolving the problem? thx

For most likely the biggest purchase ever made, how do people not look and listen before signing on the dotted line?

Good luck getting something done now.

Sorry, maybe I don’t understand: someone wants people in the northern part of TV to pay for noise reduction in the southern part?

True, buyer beware, but they might have better luck with a safety risk due to design.

The design didn't include extending the berm typically used to protect the homes the full length of that area.

There's a portion at the entrance to the Service Plaza with nothing but grass between the Turnpike and homes.

It's a matter of time before an accident sends a vehicle into someone's bedroom.

Not enough, from the looks of things.

I know several people here in TV who purchased their homes here ONLINE. Industrial-strength stupid, IMO. You get to see the house (probably staged for viewing), garage, lanai, maybe most of the yard. You do NOT get to see the neighborhood, ask questions of the locals, see the conditions of the streets, check out the availability of local shopping, restaurants, etc.--AND check for noise.

In my opinion part of it is panic. Houses were selling in record numbers as fast as they were being listed (not so much now, thank goodness), some even before they were listed, and people were afraid that if they didn't get their slice of the pie today, that slice would cost them several thousands (in some cases, tens of thousands) dollars more in a few months.

I agree, but I don't think I have seen a "dotted line" in about 40 years.

The whole reason we never moved into a house in the south end was because of the turnpike noise. The turnpike never sleeps. All you had to do was go see in the house in person before buying and you couldn't have missed the noise.

This is a big nothing burger. A whopping 200 people signed that petition.

We played Southern Oaks course a few months ago. The noise from the TPike was disconcerting. The semis downshifting to slow getting into the Rest Area. Could only imagine those sounds at night when there’s more trucks…. No way. Thankful we live where we do in TV. Ahhhhhh

Never understood spending 400k/500k/600k and not spending a few thousand for a trip to FLA to see the place.
