FORM FRA F 6180.71(Rev. 3/15) OMB approval expires 3/31/2018 Page 2 OF 2 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 2/7/2017 DATE: Tuesday, February 7,2017 REFERENCE NO.: **C-28101 LOG NAME: 20QUIET ZONE ESTABLISHMENT 2017 SUBJECT: Authorize Establishment of Ten Quiet Zones- Five at Union Pacific Railroad Crossings: Ayers Avenue, Hughes Avenue, Oakland Boulevard, Tierney Road, and Handley Drive; Four at Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Crossings: Bonds Ranch Road, W. Seminary Drive, W. Butler Street, and W. Biddison Street; and One at Trinity Railway Express Railroad Crossing: Mosier Valley Road After the Necessary Construction Has Been Completed at Each Location(COUNCIL DISTRICTS 5, 7, 8 and 9) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a Notice of Quiet Zone Establishment for ten locations-five at Union Pacific Railroad Crossings: Ayers Avenue, Hughes Avenue, Oakland Boulevard, Tierney Road, and Handley Drive; four at Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Crossing: Bonds Ranch Road,W. Seminary Drive, W. Butler Street, and W. Biddison Street; and one at Trinity Railway Express Railroad Crossing: Mosier Valley Road after the necessary construction has been completed at each location. DISCUSSION: The Transportation and Public Works Department proposes to create quiet zones,which will allow trains to proceed through street crossings without sounding their horns thereby reducing noise levels in the surrounding residential areas. These quiet zones will be implemented pursuant to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)Train Horn rule at the 10 crossings listed below: Union Pacific Railroad at Ayers Avenue Union Pacific Railroad at Hughes Avenue Union Pacific Railroad at Oakland Boulevard Union Pacific Railroad at Tierney Road Union Pacific Railroad at Handley Drive Burlington Northern Santa Fe at Bonds Ranch Road Burlington Northern Santa Fe at W. Seminary Drive Burlington Northern Santa Fe at W. Butler Street Burlington Northern Santa Fe at W. Biddison Street Trinity Railway Express at Mosier Valley Road The residents adjacent to these 10 crossings have contacted the Transportation and Public Works Department to express their interest in making these crossings quiet zones. The construction plans for the 5 crossings of the Union Pacific Railroad listed above will be completed in February 2017 and construction activities are anticipated to be complete by late Summer 2017, at which point the City would execute and submit the Notice of Establishment to the FRA and railroad. The quiet zone would then be established by early Fall 2017, upon FRA approval. The construction plans for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe at Bonds Ranch Road crossing were completed in January 2017 and construction activities are anticipated to be completed by late Spring 2017, at which point the City would execute and submit the Notice of Establishment to the FRA and railroad.
