Noise pollution is a problem in urban areas across the Bay, but in San Mateo, one rail crossing has caused enough headaches that the city is finding a permanent solution.
"I like the neighborhood because it's very friendly. We have neighbors who've been here for a long time. It's very family oriented," she said.
"They have to honk it every time they start coming through the intersection, because it's an open intersection. There are three very close - the San Mateo Station, this one, and then the one in Burlingame - so they honk it a little bit along the way," she said. "I would say that if the majority of the people in this area would like it, I think it would be nice if they'd consider it," Sanchez said.
"Train horn noise is a quality of life issue," she said."This is a real opportunity for us to engineer actual solutions that could help reduce train horn noise and bring safety improvements to the corridor as well.""There's a need at this moment, at this juncture, to really turn to the community and say these are some of the trade-off's that you'll have to weigh," Lee said.
