San Diego Quiet Zone Gets Approved

June 24th, 2010 categories: Downtown

On Tuesday June 22nd 2010, the San Diego City Council finally approved the $20.9 million Quiet Zone Act. This plan will create the country’s largest “quiet zone,” affecting 13 rail crossing by adding safety features such as “gates blocking traffic, medians and other measures to protect drivers and passengers.“  The plan was approved by a 6-2 vote and the only opposition came from Council members that wanted to find alternative ways to fund the estimated $60K in annual maintenance and inspection costs.

The Quiet Zone Act stretches from Laurel Street, all the way to Park Boulevard and will reduce the places that the trains have to blow there horns, which can reach up to 120 decibels (a gun shot registers at 140 db).  The construction will begin this August and is supposed to be completed by November of 2011.
