Ganado looks to silence trains
Submitted by jcht2010 on
The City of Ganado is considering creating a Quiet Zone within its jurisdiction. Council members discussed the action at its April 9 regular meeting.
A Quiet Zone eliminates the sounding of train horns in a certain established zone.
Mayor Clinton Tegeler said there have been requests from citizens for a Quiet Zone through the city. He asked council’s opinion and mentioned a concern about liability to the city.
Councilman Mike Konarik said he would like council to pursue it, “just to see what the numbers are.” He added that El Campo and Louise both have Quiet Zones.
Tegeler said he would pursue it to see what is involved.
In other business, the council set a workshop for the third week of May to discuss a planning and capacity study that was performed in 2012. The study was paid for by a grant the city received.
