For over a decade, noise from trains passing through Fort Collins has been heard loud and clear. The railroad passes through the City, cutting through the downtown dis- trict with 12 street crossings. Federal train regulations require that trains must use their horn prior to an inter- section, causing the horn to be in e•ect for the majority of its passage through Fort Collins. With numerous com- plaints in neighboring com- munities in Colorado, the Federal Railroad Adminis- tration has decided to reopen discussion on potential quiet zones, and is o•ering a chance for community members to comment online. “I think people get very Pierre Bouvier, lead singer of Simple Plan, faces his microphone towards the crowd during the band’s performance in Anheuser-Busch’s Biergarten. frustrated with the level of The acoustic performance was free to the public and hosted by the local radio station, 99.9 The Point.PHOTO BY NATALIE DYER COLLEGIAN noise,” said Ginny Sawyer, project and policy manager at the City of Fort Collins.
