Disgruntled residents are hoping to make a statement about how serious a problem the loop is causing, said Steve Gladson, a resident of King's Mill neighborhood.
The loop goes through the middle of Gladson's neighborhood. It has a partial noise wall, but the wall is not tall enough to be effective, he said.
Government officials bear blame for allowing development too close to the eight-lane highway, Gladson said.
"They've allowed development where it should never have been," he said. "But no one in government wants to take responsibility for it."
Mills said the DOT will do whatever it can for people whose houses were built before 1996, when DOT publicly announced the loop's route.
"Anybody who built after that, we can't do anything for," he said. "We depend on the local government to advise people who are building new houses."
