We have all been disturbed by loud train whistles. Train traffic and noise are expected to increase over the next few years. Train noise disturbs us at work, at home, while talking on the phone, and even at church. Just as court proceedings are interrupted in the Jefferson County Court House, train noise will also impact indoor and outdoor events at our new Fairfield Arts and Convention Center. There is some documentation that over time this continuous loud noise may be harmful to our hearing.
Thank you for your support and inspiration. We have formed a non- profit vehicle under the Accelerated Learning Foundation “Train Safety and Quiet Zone” which you can still join, to achieve safer and quieter railroad crossings by Dec. 2007. To begin we need to raise between $50,000 and $60,000, by May 30, 2007. This is about half of what the required improvements will cost. Then we will appear before the Fairfield City Council with the initial funds in hand, letters of support from civic groups, and additional scientific documentation to request
