Some citizens of the Plaza Midwood/Chantilly neighborhood have started an online petition to the City of Charlotte to encourage the City to make obtaining a Quiet Zone for the Elizabeth/Chantilly corridor of the CSX train line because the "train horns are extraordinarily loud and disruptive to sleep, outdoor activities and general enjoyment of homes in the area." If you think this is as ridiculous as i do, and you enjoy the sound of the train horn (and think it might be uh... useful for safety purposes) are invited to sign this counter-petition. I'm aiming for one more signature than the Quiet Zone crowd. We love our neighborhood and the sights and sounds that go with it, and if these guys don't like it, they can move to another neighborhood instead of trying to change everything about this one. Show your support and fight for the train horn!!

If you move next to train tracks you should expect to hear a train. Common sense.

I like the sound of the trains. It gives the neighborhood character and helps me know what time it is while I work from home.

Seriously tired of people moving into our area and trying to change everything. If you dont like the horns move to the suburbs!!

The train has been here way longer than the people complaining. Leave it alone.

KEEP THE HORN. It lets everyone know the train is coming and keeps the crossings safe for kids and drivers.

Safety first. Keep the horns so people dont get hit. Simple as that.
