A Cedar Rapids 1 380 noise study finds highway design must meet federal noise limits when federal funds are used. It details decibel readings along corridors, predicts 1994 impacts, and covers abatement ideas, land use changes, and policy steps to curb traffic noise while guiding development near the interstate.
A Cedar Rapids study notes shielding properties along the I 380 corridor is impractical due to elevated freeway spans while sound barriers could aid homes west of the freeway near the ramp. Noise mostly stays under 60 decibels except near the Blairs Ferry interchange where levels reach 75, with federal standards pending and traffic noise rising as quiet becomes scarce.

Fetter and Eunice Mann Fetter lines, Dennison Hyatt, Drury descendants, Wedmore, Vest, Fales, Richman, Morsman and related Iowa families.
