Below are types of noise mitigation that Sound Transit can

use to help reduce noise along Link light rail alignments.

Elevated sound walls

Installed close to the track
Made of stainless steel or aluminum
Inside surface absorbs sound
Wall heights range from four feet to 10 feet over the
elevated deck
Provide noise reduction up to 15 decibels

Elevated sound barriers

Thick plastic/rubber sheets used on elevated guideway
Used when less than 10 decibels noise reduction is
needed

At-grade sound walls

Typical sound walls seen along the freeways
Made of concrete or engineered composites
Wall heights can range from eight feet to 26 feet
Provide noise reduction up to 15 decibels

RIDGECREST PARK

The Lynnwood Link Extension alignment runs along the western edge
of Ridgecrest Park in Shoreline. This means:
The alignment affects a berm and row of mature cottonwoods
that currently screens Interstate 5 from the park
A noise wall and landscaping will separate the light rail
guideway from the park
Replacement park space and parking will be provided as
mitigation for lost park space and existing parking

Coordination with the City of Shoreline

Sound Transit and the City of Shoreline are working together to
ensure the park remains an enjoyable gathering place for the
community after construction.
