The proposed Bill No. 6676 aims to address noise pollution in the city of Meriden by mandating the installation of sound barriers at specific locations along major highways. The bill outlines four key areas where these sound barriers are to be constructed: (1) along Interstate Route 691 eastbound between Hubbard Park and the Chamberlain Highway exit, (2) along Interstate Route 91 southbound between the Middletown line and exit 18, Preston Avenue, (3) along Connecticut Route 15 northbound from the Wallingford line to the Paddock Avenue overpass, and (4) along Connecticut Route 15 southbound from the Paddock Avenue overpass to the Wallingford line. These installations are intended to provide a buffer for residents living in proximity to these highways, thereby reducing the impact of increased traffic noise resulting from the Interstate Route 91, Interstate Route 691, and Connecticut Route 15 interchange improvement project.

The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the locations for the sound barriers, while there are no deletions from current law noted in the text. The overall purpose of the bill is to enhance the quality of life for residents affected by highway noise, reflecting a commitment to community welfare and environmental considerations in urban planning.
