RHA Again Opposes 605-Katella Interchange Project

At our February meeting, the RHA Board again opposed the 605-Katella “Improvement” project on behalf of of the residents of Rossmoor . An excerpt of the letter sent to CalTrans, the Board said:

The Rossmoor Homeowners Association, which represents more than 1,100 households in unincorporated Rossmoor, has reviewed the responses to our comments in its draft EIR for the 605 Katella interchange project and wants to be on record objecting to the existing plan to expand eastbound Katella by taking 12 feet of existing greenway for a shoulder, bike lane and additional roadway.

The Rossmoor Homeowners Association, which represents more than 1,100 households in unincorporated Rossmoor, has reviewed the responses to our comments in its draft EIR for the 605 Katella interchange project and wants to be on record objecting to the existing plan to expand eastbound Katella by taking 12 feet of existing greenway for a shoulder, bike lane and additional roadway.

The RHA rejects the Caltrans acoustic assessment that bring traffic closer to homes on Ruth Elaine will not result in acceptable increases in noise impacts in the neighborhood.

When Caltrans and/or OCTA begin the final engineering design for the project, RHA expects the agencies to build a brick faced sound wall, consistent with Rossmoor’s existing signature wall on Los Alamitos Blvd., along the eastbound Katella section of the project footprint.

Rossmoor is an extraordinary community, proud of its quality of life and the civic engagement of its homeowners. The removal of 12 feet of beautiful landscaping and trees will have an unacceptable impact acoustically and visually. We believe that can be ameliorated by a high brick-faced sound wall that will reduce noise impacts and improve the aesthetics of the project.

You can read the full letter here.
