City Project 2007-3, Quiet Zone Improvements
Council received the feasibility report for the proposed Quiet Zone Improvements at the July 16th
meeting. The public hearing for this project has been scheduled for the August 6th Council
meeting. A neighborhood meeting was held on July 24th to receive comments and input from
affected residents.
The proposed Quiet Zone Improvements project is a City initiated project, and wiU require the
votes of six Council members to approve the project.
PRoPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed Quiet Zone Improvements would include the removal of existing turnaround
islands west of the 2nd Street railroad crossing, construction of concrete medians on both
sides of the railroad crossing, relocation of the railroad signal and crossing arm on the west
side of the tracks, and installation of a vehicle gate on each side of the 3rd Street railroad
crossing. Prior to the installation of the quiet zone items, extensions would be made to the
City's water distribution system beneath 2nd Street on the west side of the tracks in
preparation for trunk watermain connections that will be made in the near future north and
south along Bailly Street.
SUMMARY OF IssUES AND COMMENTS
Comments from about 15 residents were received at the July 24th neighborhood meeting, with
mixed sentiments about the concept of the Quiet Zone. Staff clarified with meeting attendees
that the decision to move forward with the installation of the Quiet Zone was made by the
City Council earlier in the year, and that the purpose of the neighborhood meeting was to
explain what, when, and where improvements would be made in order to create the Quiet
Zone. Staff also explained that the costs are being assessed to lIRA owned property on
Block 1 of the future redevelopment parcel located north of 2nd Street, as this property is the
prime beneficiary of the improvements. A tabulation of the comments received, along with
staff responses, has been included for reference.
COUNCIL ACTION REOUESTED
Council is requested to adopt the enclosed resolution ordering the improvements and
approving the plans for the project, and authorizing staff to obtain quotes from contractors.
