Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan has a long and diverse history.  It could be described as an "East Side - West Side" story, because the neighborhood -- divided by Broadway -- is starkly different on each side.  Lucina Chavez-Rosique began measuring and documenting the decibel levels across the neighborhood. She's collecting noise data and resident stories to measure the  impact of noise on the community from a socioeconomic point of view. Her goal is to provide actionable recommendations to New York City leaders, based on a resident-created noise map. Listen here to learn about some of the unique noise issues in this community, the history of the neighborhood, and the challenges that lie ahead.
