Example of rustic ashlar construction
Two public meetings will be held this week to determine if noise walls should be installed along I-74 in Northside and South Cumminsville.
ODOT and the I-75 Aesthetics Committee are seeking public feedback on the walls, which would be installed roughly between the Elmore Street and Colerain Avenue exits (BIRD'S EYE).
The public meetings will be held on:
* Tuesday, February 26 at the St. Bernard Municipal Building, 120 Washington Avenue, from 5 PM-8 PM
* Wednesday, February 27 at the Camp Washington Community Center, 1201 Stock Avenue, 5 PM-8 PM
If built, the walls will use the "rustic ashlar" stencilled concrete look.
The Cincinnati Park Board has opposed the construction of the walls, claiming that they redirect and amplify noise to places a block or two away from where they are located.

I agree with the Parks Board. They're ugly, and all they really do is move the noise from one place to another. We should plant trees intead.
Yeah...how come nobody ever considers trees? They look better, they work, they contribute to the environment and they cost less.
No one considers trees because there is no big construction company or manufacturer lobbying for states to erect tree barriers. Planting trees is by its nature a job that can most efficiently be done by small local businesses, not by big corporations. As a result, there's no money behind it.
Well, if we could somehow integrate trees into the oil-industrial complex, we may see more tree barriers....
