We the undersigned citizens of Moore, Oklahoma request the establishment of a new quiet zone in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the Federal Railroad Administration. We request that the quiet zone include the railroad crossing at Indian Hills Road and the railroad crossing at 34th Street between I-35 and Eastern Road. We request that the City of Moore submit to the Federal Railroad Administration a notice of intent to create a new quiet zone, make the necessary crossing improvements and ultimately silence the train horns. This petition is made in an effort to improve the quality of life of the citizens living in this area by eliminating unnecessary train horn noise. By following the recommendations of the Federal Railroad Administration the City of Moore can both eliminate the noise pollution caused by train horns and create safer railroad crossings. Please refer to http://www.fra.dot.gov/us/content/1318 or contact me at [email protected] or [email protected] for further information or questions. **Please note: Your email address will only be seen by the sponsors of the petition. We will only contact you about the quiet zone. Your email will not be used for any other purpose.**

Reaching 250 signatures feels like a small victory in a very long fight. I am exhausted by the slow pace of this process but seeing this level of support keeps me moving forward.

The horns need to be silenced. The noise is absurd. Causes stress and results in loss of sleep. Decreases quality of life here in Moore.

The train horn noise significantly impact the quality of our lives, I have a 18 month old, who got woken up super early in the morning from the train horn all the time. We are miserable because of it.

I’ve witnessed moore trains blowing their horns in the middle of the night 24 times on some occasions. It feels like the engineers have a vendetta against people sleeping soundly in their homes. If Norman can ban horns and they have higher instances of train accidents before their horn ban that moore then we should have a ban here too.

I live on main Street, these horns are absolutely absurd, my wife and I have timed some of these conductors. The longest one we have timed so far has been more then 14 seconds long. Absolutely ridiculous.

Resident of Moore OK for 17 years, it is time due to our growth in the area to designate these quiet zones for our homeowners!!

I am constantly awakened throughout the night by the train horns. This noise is affecting my life negatively due to lack of sleep. I live close to SW 34th street in Moore.
