GREAT NEWS!
For all those homeowners living in Elk Grove east of Hwy. 99.
NO MORE TRAIN WHISTLES!
Elk Grove is the 8th City in California to establish the quiet zone.
Elk Grove has it's first 24 hour railroad quiet zone.
The Quiet Zone will definitely improve the quality of life here in ELk Grove. The areas that will now be exempt from those hourly long train honking horns which had progressively increased over the past eight years are:
- East of Calvine Rd.
- East of Sheldon Rd.
- Elk Grove Florin Rd.
- Bond Rd.
- Elk Grove Blvd.
An additional quiet zone will be established at Franklin Blvd./Willard Parkway in the Spring 2008.
If you happen to hear the whistle it is because, train engineers can and will sound the horn if they feel there is an emergency, such as a motorist, pedestrian, animal or other trains that could case death or property damage.
This has been a long time coming and I know that homeowners East of Hwy.99 in Elk Grove will wonder why they can sleep through the night, now...oh it's a wonderful world!
