Visual and Aesthetic Resources: All xx alternatives would cause temporary visual disturbance during construction, including new sources of light and glare, and visual nuisance in urban areas adjacent to residential and historical resources. All HST alternatives would permanently lower visual quality west of SR 99. All alternatives would use sound barriers for noise mitigation in urban areas, which would block views, and all alternatives would have traction power supply stations (TPSSs) that would block or alter views. Mitigation measures to reduce impacts would include minimizing visual disruption from construction, providing landscape treatments along overcrossings and retained fill elements, providing sound barrier treatments, and screening TPSSs. With mitigation, visual disruption from construction and TPSS impacts would be reduced to negligible under NEPA and less than significant under CEQA. Impacts associated with lowering visual quality and sound barriers could remain substantial under NEPA and significant under CEQA, depending on location, type and extent of visual treatment, and viewer sensitivity.
