Quiet Zone Application Update
The concern over train horn noise has escalated since the Final Rule by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) was implemented last summer (2006). This Final Rule has resulted in increased train horn noise, not only in San Clemente, but throughout the State. The City Council has made the application for quiet zones one of our top five priorities for the current fiscal year. We are extremely concerned with the increased train noise and are thoroughly committed to following through on a solution. Click Here for more information.
