Westside bypass photo of the day

From Parkridge Drive to Three Mile Drive, the westside bypass runs between Empire Estates on the west and a series of subdivisions on the east, starting with Barron Way at the north. I made this image from the cul de sac at the southern end of Barron Way. This homeowner cannot be happy that the project comes so close to his house. If a sound wall is erected to attenuate traffic noises, it might also block his view to the west and intercept late afternoon sunlight. Progress? Not for the people living next to the bypass.
