]]> Quiet Zone http://www.villageofmatteson.org/cnrup/index.php?entry=entry111221-121411 Community Development Department Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:14:11 GMT http://www.villageofmatteson.org/cnrup/index.php?entry=entry110916-092022 Matteson Quiet Zone: Main Street
Construction on the Main Street improvements is complete and the Notice of Establishment has been filed. Upon approval, the Quiet Zone is established. Please note that although a Quiet Zone is in place, a train may sound its horn if there are hazardous conditions such as construction activity or people/animals near the tracks.

Shared Quiet Zone: Cicero Ave, Central Ave & Ridgeland Ave
Matteson is one step closer to receiving a Quiet Zone that extends from Cicero Avenue to Ridgeland Avenue. On September 12th, we received approval by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to construct the identified safety improvements, which will make the crossings safer, as a result of no train horn. A median will be reconstructed at Cicero Avenue and channelization markers will be installed at Ridgeland Avenue.

The next step in the process is to obtain permits and begin construction. We’re waiting on IDOT and Cook County to finish their first review, so it’s tough to set a construction schedule. It is our goal to have it constructed this year, weather permitting. After construction is completed, a Notice of Establishment is submitted and the Quiet Zone is established. Please note that although a Quiet Zone is in place, a train may sound its horn if there are hazardous conditions such as construction activity or people/animals near the tracks.
