Highway traffic noise not suited for hospital (letter to the editor)

Oconomowoc Enterprise, June 8, 2006

As a former longtime employee of Pabst Farms Inc., I have spent considerable time on the former Pabst property near I-94, as well as on the Pabst lake, plus visiting the Summit cemetery.

Have the Aurora hospital officials ever experienced the constant roar of the I-94 traffic, including the huge diesel semis changing gears at the (Highway) 67-94 interchange?

It has always been the opinion that hospitals should be built at a location sharing a quiet environment.

The unending noise near the northeast of Interstate 94 and Highway 67 of the Pabst Farms property cannot be heard just looking at a map of the area. It is a better location for a bowling alley.
