Quote:In recent weeks, residents of 101 Alma and their neighbors have been researching how to establish quiet zones and lobbying the council to create one on Alma. A petition recently launched by resident Zouhair Mahboubi calling for a quiet zone has received 127 signatures as of Tuesday morning. The petition calls train horn noise a "significant community issue" and notes that the required noise level is "very loud, and with freight trains running throughout the night, many residents struggle with sleep."

Probably more people are bothered by the noisy freeway on the other side of town. Maybe they should call for a quiet zone, too.
