Dear Residents: Let's Keep the Momentum Going!

Dear residents,

Many, many thanks to all of you who have responded to the mailer by emailing Mayor White with the request to create a quiet zone in District H. We've received multiple emails from area residents thanking us for starting this effort, but we've also learned that we're not the first ones to start such a campaign. Many other area residents have started similar efforts in the past, and they have made valuable advances in raising the visibility of the issue. Some residents have even conducted detailed research into the specifics of what is needed (resources, permits, etc.) to get the quiet zone in our District. Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts and information.

Late last week we received a call from councilman Adrian Garcia's chief of staff, Rhonda Sauter, advising that the mayor's office had contacted them about the issue and that our email campaign has generated "quite the buzz" at City Hall. That is great, but we need more than buzz, so we need to keep the momentum going by continuing to spread the word and have all area residents email Mayor White.

Please, if you haven't already done so, share this blog and the contents of the mailer with friends, neighbors and others in the area that may not have received or responded to the mailer. If you need a soft copy of the mailer, please email us at mailto:stoptrainhorns@gmail.com.

The city can no longer avoid the quiet zone in our district and the power is in our hands to put pressure on City Hall to effect change now!
