A meeting will be held on Tuesday 9/17 at 7PM at the Plymouth Library for citizens of the City of Plymouth interested in learning more about Quiet Zones.
There is an informal petition to encourage the City of Plymouth to consider taking steps to qualify railroad crossings for Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) "Quiet Zones" status which: - prohibits trains from sounding horns except in emergencies; - is safer than non-"Quiet Zone" railroad crossings; - prevents drivers from going around the gates; - potentially increases property values; and - has been successfully done by over 500 communities in accordance with federal regulations, which have allowed this since 2006.
Well over 100 people have signed the paper version, and the on-line version is now available at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/plymouthquietzones/ . That site also provides a link to a site with more information about this.
