which leads to noise
complaints.
Even if the grant is
successful, it might not mean
the horn goes away entirely,
but it could be replaced
with wayside horns directed
at oncoming traffi c in both
directions. Train crews could
also still sound horns in
emergency situations or for
safety reasons.
The most visible change
would
likely
be
the
installation of four-quadrant
gates. Four-quadrant gates
include an extra pair of gates
blocking the roadway. The
additional gates descend on
a delay to avoid trapping
vehicles and, once fully
deployed, prevent drivers
from attempting to go around
them. The current crossing is
a two-quadrant gate.
The deadline for applying
for the grant is Sept. 17.
