quiet zone

Residents of a northeast St. Cloud neighborhood are finally getting their railroad crossing quiet zone. Efforts to create a train whistle-free crossing at 4 1/2 Street Northeast have been in the works for years.

A planned quiet zone for a railroad crossing north of the old Sartell paper mill is in jeopardy after the cost to make the upgrades has tripled.

Residents of the Northeast St. Cloud neighborhood have been asking for a Railroad Quiet Zone for years, and now they're one step closer to getting their wish. The St. Cloud City Council approved a Quiet Zone this (Monday) evening for the crossing at 4 1/2 Street Northeast.

A northeast St. Cloud railroad crossing could soon be a lot quieter. On Monday night the city council will hold a public hearing and consider a plan for a quiet zone at 4 1/2 Street Northeast.
