| 205 | Harry J. Benedict | As a native Atlantan on Lenox near the tennis courts, and born at the original Piedmont Hospital about where Dave Justice use to stand in right field, I object to this movement. I could complain about those pesky ambulance and police sirens all day and night, those Harleys who open their engines up as they hit the straightaway at the tennis courts, those dern airplanes whose flight path bisects two of my towering backyard oak trees, the local news and traffic helicopters and those work day commuters who can't seem to make it to Midas Muffle but I won't. I have worked day and night shift hours the last few years and seem to sleep fine with all of this noise that goes with living in a city. Train horns are just one of our noises here, why not go after all of the others too? Thank you.

| 206 | Marty Reynolds | C'mon, those property value-damaging noisemakers are called train WHISTLES, not
train horns.
And sound level meters are not called "dosimeters." That's a term for radiation exposure.
All this web site palaver is typical of number-
challenged ninnies seeking attention & power
Further the trains are a big revenue & employment
for the city & a fuel economy dream come true.
You'd want to hobble them for your house's
appraisal? Double standard
If it weren't for those whistles, we'd have no
country & western music today
I live in the 'hood & love the sound
Those tracks have been there 100+ years & only
now have begun to get "too loud" according
to "expert testimony." Further @ 130db, they
match a jet plane... At what distance?
Stop this infantile nonsense & get a life |

| 208 | Anonymous | I support creating a "Quiet Zone." When buying a house with the backyard right up against the tracks, I knew to expect the rumbling and the occassional horn/whistle. However, I didn't expect to hear the blowing all during the night. It definitely affects the quaility of my life in a negative way. I'm tired every morning and have to push myself through the day. Thankfully I don't have a long commute to work, otherwise I'd be concerned about the effects on my driving; possibly putting myself and/or others in danger all because not being able to sleep well. I didn't have this problem prior to moving here. I love my home and the area and even the rumble of the train from time to time, but the horn/whistle has got to stop; at an absolute minimum during the night while most are trying sleep. |
| 209 | lauri stainback | Too loud for my neighors! |
| 210 | Paul B | I 100% support this. I live very close to the crossing and the sound still bothers me after living here over 10 years.
I don't understand why they even need it when there is a gate crossing. However, I "could" get by with a quick toot now and then. But sometimes they lay on that horn for WELL over a minute or more along with dozens of blasts - all of which is simply uncalled for and unnecessary.
It needs to GO....................... |

| 212 | Anonymous | Since the Federal legislation has been enacted, I believe train noise has actually increased. |
| 213 | Christina Sears | the horn at this crossing disrupts my otherwise quiet evenings, interrupts my sleep and takes away from the quality of the neighborhood in general. |

| 215 | Tiffany Gust | We are hoping to purchase a home that is very near the Lenox crossing, and hope that this will very soon become a quiet zone as we are worried about the horn sounding 5 times per day/night. |
| 216 | Max Duque | Please implement a "quite zone" at the Lenox Road crossing, as it affects many citizens in the area |
| 217 | Cecile Blanco | I support the petition to establish a QUIET ZONE in the Lenox Road Crossing area. I am a potential home buyer in the Lenox Circle neighborhood and the horn is a deal breaker at this point. |
| 218 | Anonymous | Quiet zone needed from 11pm to 7am! there is not need for the horn during the wee hours with minimal traffic on old lenox road |
| 219 | Anonymous | I like the sound. Reminds me that I am in bed, and someone else is working. Keep tooting. I promise to toot in my bed when I hear the whistle. |
| 220 | Mike Whittenbarger | With the number of residents living in this area these trains need to slow down and lay off the horn for the safety and wellbeing of everyone. This crossing is dangerous and it is unacceptable for them to speed through like they do.
thanks,
