Attention all disturbed resident

Attention all disturbed residents from train noise:

Please take notice that the Quiet Zone in Point Richmond will take effect on July 15, 2006. This is for the Richmond Ave. crossing only. Garrard, Cutting, and Canal are not far behind. What this means is that as of 12:01 AM on July 15, 200, train horns will be forbidden by federal law from sounding their horns at this crossing, barring any last minute obstructions from the railroads, the Federal Railroad Administration, the California Public Utilities Commission, or any of the multitude of other agencies who are involved. The horns will still continue to sound at Garrard, Cutting, and Canal.

Our working group, H.O.R.N., continues to nibble away at the various issues that surround the proposed Quiet Zones at Point Richmond on Garrard, Cutting, and Canal, and in the Marina area. I hope to be able to send a message like this one in the near future, informing you that Quiet Zones have been established in these areas as well.

Attached are the proposed horn violation forms that we would ask each of you to report any violations by the railroads of the Quiet Zone and any horn blowing that violates the Federal restriction of two long, one short, and one long blast of the horn. The horn shall begin to be sounded at least 15 seconds before the train enters the crossing and cease upon entering the crossing.

Congratulations!!

Fred Arm
