PHOENIX — Train horns can be heard blaring as the City of Phoenix’s Quiet Zone designation has been suspended through the downtown area after safety concerns near the train tracks.
“These expedited changes are intended to increase the safety of people and vehicles in the area and should meet the FRA [Federal Railroad Administration] requirements to restore Quiet Zone,” a spokesperson for the city wrote by email. “The department is actively working with federal and state authorities to resolve this quickly and restore the 24-hour Quiet Zone.”
For people who live downtown like Greg Axelrod, the sounds can be heard through the night and early morning hours.Axelrod is used to noise living in downtown Phoenix as he lives by Chase Field and can hear traffic, planes, and trains occasionally — but it’s the middle of the night horns that are waking him and other residents up.
The City of Phoenix tells ABC15 that they did not notify the public saying they only recently learned of the Quiet Zone status change. “As soon as we became aware of this issue we have been working proactively to restore the designation.”
