I met with city planners this week to review the safety requirements for implementing a Quiet Zone in the rail corridor. We are now drafting a formal request for an engineering study to determine exactly what infrastructure upgrades are necessary at the five crossings. Expect an update on the official response from the transportation department once they review our proposal.

I literally had to replace all the windows in my house just so I wasn't woken up constantly by the trains. I can still hear them. They also significantly negatively effect the tenants my building at 111 SE Madison.
I teach at a dance studio right next to the train tracks. The excessive noise disrupts my ability to communicate effectively with my students. It also causes me anxiety which is not good for me or my students.
I work in a building right next to the train tracks and the incessant horn blowing is damaging my hearing in my right ear. It has also increased my anxiety so much that when I hear the train from my home on SE 30th and Hawthorne, it wakes me up at night.
This goes on 24x7, and sometimes the horn blasts last for a while at a time. One particularly awful instance I times at 11 minutes. This was at 7am, the first day of the time change. There's no way that was necessary, especially in a residential area.
The trains disrupt the sleep of my family, including my young son. The blasts are far too frequent and too loud. If the safety measures are in place, a quiet zone should be enforced!
There is absolutely no reason to blare the horn for 15 minutes every night at 330 am. its obvious a psy op to fuck with peoples sleep.
I recently moved to NW Front Ave, and the trains throughout the night keep my partner and I awake. We use the best ear plugs, but this does not block the multiple, longs horns blasts. This area has grown a lot in the past 10-15 years, more and more residential apartment buildings with thousands of people. We need a solution

The train horns are really causing distruption in my families sleep. The magnitude of the noise is beyond comprehension for a neighborhood to deal with. I think tax payers if asked would contribute to whatever it takes to eliminate the noise.
