Lilburn councilmembers said a study is underway to determine whether the downtown railroad crossing qualifies for a quiet zone that would limit use of train horns.
The transcript states the first step is to determine if the area qualifies and that a study to assess eligibility is currently underway. Councilmembers did not authorize funding for quiet-zone work at the July 1 session and did not set a timeline for completion; the discussion recorded only that eligibility must be confirmed before any further action.
No engineering reports, funding amounts, or required state or federal approvals were provided in the transcript. The council did not direct staff to begin construction or to file any regulatory applications during this meeting.
