City hires consultant for quiet-zone study at Main and Middlebury
Summary
The board authorized SRF Consulting Group for a railroad quiet-zone analysis at Main and Middlebury with fees capped at $55,000. City engineer Jeff Shaffer said the planning process will likely take two to three years before a quiet-zone agreement could be reached.
The Board of Public Works authorized a professional services agreement with SRF Consulting Group Inc. to study whether a railroad quiet zone can be established at the Main and Middlebury Street crossings. The contract was approved with a not-to-exceed fee of $55,000.
"This process will take between 2 and 3 years just to get to a quiet zone agreement," City engineer Jeff Shaffer said, describing the Federal Railroad Administration scoring process and potential future crossing improvements like medians or additional gates. The board approved the authorization by voice vote; staff cautioned that implementation would likely require follow-up projects and capital work if a quiet zone is approved.
