Our Fairfield Quiet Zone will come to a vote on the City Council in
the next month or so. Prior to that vote a meeting has been
scheduled for this Monday to inform and educate the public on the
details of the Quiet Zone and provide all members of the community
the opportunity to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns
about the project. This meeting is an effort to ensure that everyone
has had the opportunity to get informed and make their feelings known.
It is important that Quiet Zone supporters attend this meeting to
show support for the project. If you can't make it at 7, please
come when you can. Please see the front page of the current edition
of the Fairfield Weekly Reader for further details.
In May the City Council voted unanimously to hire quiet zone expert
Andy Mielke of SRF Consulting. Mielke came highly recommended by
city officials in Burlington and has helped guide them and 23 other
cities through the process of establishing their city's quiet
zone. After completing site work in Fairfield, collecting traffic
counts for each crossing, and working closely with the city engineer
and director of Public Works, Mielke will provide an updated report
in time for the Monday meeting at 7 p. m. at the Library.
This meeting will dramatically affect the council's decision to
approve or reject these recommendations.
It is crucial that we have positive, polite support at this meeting.
Please come, forward this email to friends, and bring at least one
neighbor that strongly supports the quiet zone.
We are very close to getting our QZ approved. Thanks for all your support.
