Quiet zone nears for Cedar Rapids train horns
Cedar Rapids moves toward reducing train horn noise with a downtown quiet zone. City Engineer Ken DeKeyser says only one crossing on Stickle Drive NE at C Avenue NE remains before applying to the federal government to designate the first section from C Avenue NE to Fifth Avenue SE as quiet. Future phases would extend the zones along Sixth Avenue SE to Otis Road SE and from Third Street SE to Second Street SW.
