Make your voice heard HERE and NOW! The railroad quiet zone at the intersection of S. Alamo and S. Flores St, in the works since 2013, is long overdue. Help us end the noise pollution of high decibel train horns at all hours of the day & night in the midst of our Southtown and Lone Star neighborhood homes and local businesses.
Sign this petition today for City of San Antonio Council Member awareness and support to implement the quiet zone ASAP.

Even with the quiet zone, the engaged conductor has the option to blow the horn when sensing potential danger. Together with the additional safeguards funded by the city, there will be no change in the risk profile.
PLEASE make the train horns stop at night! We live a mile north of the train intersection, in a condo on the 7th floor facing east and north, and the horns a so loud, it wakes us up most nights, or makes it hard to fall sleep.
These trains going through Lonestar and Southtown are constantly blowing horns in “no horn” zones. There are arms and lights in place at the crossings. It’s time to address this unnecessary noise pollution.
Thank you for taking up this issue. Trains blowing very loud horns in residential area throughout day and night. The 3AM train horn is especially loud, Would appreciate striking a balance between safety and respecting residents' sleep. Thank you.
It's crazy that the horn blows within 10-15 feet of my bedroom window. The issue has been kicked around, with one hiccup after another, for nearly my entire 12 years living here. We were once in a final 30-day "last call for comment" period, when I believe the new $20K payment to be considered quiet was retroactively brought into play for us also.
Let's make this thing happen before its 10 year anniversary :)

This is essential if the City of San Antonio wants to see this City continue to prosper with Urban infill. Safety and quiet can coexist. If this was Olmos Park, Alamo Heights or even Pearl, would there have been nearly a decade of contemplation? Please consider the residences whom reside her today, and and the substantial growth planned for the area. Please consider the mental wellbeing of children that will grow up in this area. Thank you
