Spread This Idea

Where

Exit #5 on the Prospect Expressway along E. 5th Street between Vanderbilt Street and Greenwood Avenue.

My project idea is...

To erect a buffering wall or evergreen screen the length of Exit #5 Exit on the Prospect Expway along E. 5th St. to buffer the homes, park and church on Vanderbilt St and E. 5th from the Expressway.

So that people could... 

A wall would provide a noise and visual buffer from the Expressway. A hedge would also do much to clear the air of vehicle-born pollution. All this would make the quality of life in the neighborhood much better and improve property values.
