An interesting berm discussion

and other relevant information can be found here

BermPortland has arrived!

If you live on an arterial street in Portland, Oregon and you would like to have a berm installed on your parking strip (planting strip) to reduce the noise from passing car traffic, please contact me at albertkaufman@gmail.com and let's talk.

Together, we can lessen traffic noise, make your home quieter, and Berm Portland!

More info to follow, but here's a little taste of a discussion.  Some cities and towns have really bermed a lot, and it's made quite a difference.  I want to say Cleveland has done this, and will be back with more info, shortly.  Want to get started?  me, too.
