It is ridiculous that our council has not proceeded with helping their constituents in this manner.

I support this position and encourage the creation of quiet zones for residents in downtown San Antonio

Quiet those train horns. They blow at a deafening level 24/7.

We live on Hackberry & hear the trains all night long - seriously think they are louder & honking longer than ever...

Please, please, please quiet the trains! Other major cities, Chicago for example, prohibit trains horn honking unless there is an obstruction visible on the tracks. Excessive honking is fined. Most importantly, the subtle health effects of being subjected to this sudden, hostile noise accumulate over time, whether people realize it or not.

Live right next to it. Safety is one thing. Holding horn through whole city while going far too fast is another.

We're on S St Mary's in Lavaca neighborhood right on the tracks; in the quiet zone. The quiet zone is not respected, not to mention speed limits violated, especially during evening hours. Safety-related concerns as well as quality of life related concerns compel me to join in and sign.

We are in a quiet zone between Commerce and Houston St. It is wonderful! Everyone deserves having this peace and quiet.

Several train conductors sit on the horn for over 3 minutes at a time, during the early morning hours. I have had enough. This has to stop.

A quiet zone that includes the entire edge of downtown near Eastside is long overdue. The city must act now to develop quality of life if it is serious about promoting urban living around the core.

It time to make downtown a quite zone. Make downtown more family friendly. There is a quite zone but trains are still blowing thier horns thru the quite zones at 3 and 4 am

The trains are very disrupting to people with children, as well as those of us who are light sleepers.
