Quiet Pavement

Well, the Next Generation Grinding test patch on Avondale is complete and the initial results are a vast improvement!

People for a Better Avondale would like to thank Rick Brater, Linda Dougherty and everyone at King County who were involved with the Avondale test patch project.

Noise measurement results will be coming. Keep in mind, the noise results that People for a Better Avondale are most interested in are 1, 2, 3 years from now. The critics of Next Generation Grinding say the noise will be back to original levels at that time. We do hope they are wrong but since this is a test patch it is important to learn from the results.

The goal for People for a Better Avondale is to repave/resurface/regrind Avondale from Woodinville/Duvall Road south 2 miles. The test patch is our first step.

Thanks again to King County Department of Transportation.p>
