LOCOMOTIVE HORNS AND QUIET ZONES <br /> <br />Manuel Gomez provided the Committee with an update on the status of locomotive <br />horns and noise reduction issues associated with reducing the sound pollution caused <br />by the use of train horns adjacent to city's neighborhoods. He presented a series of <br />alternative strategies all of which ultimately must address the issue of liability as relates <br />to safety. If the city is willing to make certain improvements and accept a negotiated <br />liability strategy, then a sound attenuation program could be put into place. <br /> <br />Mr. Gomez determined that staff would need additional time to study both the liability <br />and railroad crossing improvements that would have to be put into place before the <br />Committee could make any serious policy input. <br /> <br />The item was continued to the next meeting. <br /> <br />5.
