A fiscally-responsible approach to Menlo Park quieter zones

Dear Mayor Wolosin and Council,

Thank you for the opportunity to address Council on May 9th.

The attached letter focuses on the following key points:

* List of horn rules applicable to Menlo Park including potential mitigation approaches for each rule.
* Concerns about the approach taken by the current consultants.
* A Recommendation for a 90-day quiet zone evaluation study including a wayside horn demonstration at one or more (potentially all four) crossings.

"The Installation of two wayside horn systems cost the City about $300,000, well below what the price tag could have been for four quadrant gates at the two crossings."
