Railroad Conversation

Thank you to Mr. Yates for taking the initiative on contacting our Commissioner and trying to reduce the annoyance of the late night railroad whistles.  Here is the backstory and update on that issue:

I understand that you are having a townhall meeting tonight but we (Jasper Heights HOA) are having our annual meeting also so I will unfortunately miss your townhall as I attend our HOA to discuss this issue I shared with you. I will send the guide to establishing such quiet zones (Produced by the Federal Railroad Administration) for your review, again. The FRA requires that this process be initiated by our local government representative/entity (You/BOC) so please help us with this situation expeditiously. If you would like me to produce a petition or take any other action I will be happy to do so. This is your chance for an easy victory that will make many of your constituents very happy.

Ms. Clemons advised that she has prepared a resolution for the Board of Commissioners to address our train issue and she request that we attend the April BOC meeting to support this effort.

  Ms. Clemmons seems to be on top of this issue now and is working hard to help resolve this concern. I will update all as things develop. IF we need to attend the BOC meeting I will advise date and time. Thanks all!
