Council taking another look at RR quiet zone

SANDPOINT — After a few weeks of research, a proposed railroad quiet zone is back on the table for council discussion this Wednesday.

Originally proposed in September following complaints from residents unable to rest due to passing trains, the request for a quiet zone was echoed by several other community members, who said the constant sounding of train horns was a significant detriment to quality of life in town. The Federal Railroad Administration will have to approve any request for a quiet zone if council members decide to pursue the matter.
