Bellevue residents say new cross-lake rail line violates noise limits

A group of Bellevue homeowners says Sound Transit's new 2 Line trains crossing Lake Washington are keeping residents awake at night and may be violating local noise ordinances. Residents in Bellevue's Enatai neighborhood say a loud, low-frequency rumble generated by trains crossing the East Channel Bridge has disrupted their sleep and quality of life for months. Now, a group of homeowners is threatening legal action against Sound Transit, alleging the agency is violating noise standards and failing to address repeated complaints. "It's like rolling thunder," homeowner Michael Eggers said. "At first, we thought Boeing was testing jet engines." -------------------------------------------------- For more on the story: https://komonews.com/news/local/bellevue-residents-say-new-cross-lake-rail-violating-noise-limits-lake-washington-transportation-homeowners-legal-action-residents-65-decibels-planning-process _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: https://www.facebook.com/KOMONews/ https://twitter.com/komonews http://instagram.com/komo4 https://www.tiktok.com/@komo4seattle Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-news-mobile/id433508161?mt=8 Download our Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newssynergy.komo&hl=en Have a news tip?
