<br />RRQZ AIS 2/25/08 <br /> Implement a quiet zone using wayside horns at all crossings. <br />? <br /> <br />Participants rejected this option because it does not eliminate train horn noise. <br /> <br /> Provide any other input or comments. <br />? <br /> <br />Those who provided additional comments suggested installing quad gates at all <br />crossings, maintaining the traditional street grid pattern without closing any streets and <br />examining potential funding options such as a special assessment district to fund the <br />quiet zone. <br /> <br /> <br />Ya-Po-Ah Terrace Meeting – September 24, 2007 <br /> <br /> Should existing conditions be maintained (No railroad quiet zone in Eugene)? <br />? <br /> <br />Participants indicated unanimous support for implementing a quiet zone in Eugene. <br />Residents at Ya-Po-Ah Terrace were particularly concerned about the level and duration <br />of noise coming from the train horns. <br /> <br /> Would you support spending local funds to establish a railroad quiet zone? <br />? <br /> <br />While participants were universally supportive of establishing a quiet zone to improve <br />local quality of life, those who commented on this question suggested that funding come <br />from the railroad corporations. The few residents answering this question were <br />unsupportive of spending local funds to establish a quiet zone. <br /> <br /> Indicate your support for complete closure of 5 streets (50% of crossings in the <br />? <br />study area) to establish a railroad quiet zone. <br /> <br />Received only one comment suggesting to leave the streets as they were. <br /> <br /> Indicate your support for complete closure of 1 to 3 streets to establish a railroad <br />? <br />quiet zone. <br /> <br />Received only one comment suggesting to leave the streets as they were. <br /> <br /> Indicate your support for converting two-way streets to one-way street couplets to <br />? <br />establish a railroad quiet zone. <br /> <br />Received only one comment suggesting to leave the streets as they were. <br /> <br /> Provide any other input or comments <br />? <br /> <br />Of the three comments received, one suggested doing nothing, another suggested <br />under-grounding the railroad, and the third provided a description of the horn patterns. <br /> <br /> <br />Public Meeting #2 – October 16, 2007 <br /> <br /> <br />Railroad Quiet Zone Public Input Report Page 5 <br /> <br />
