Why is the Township of Montclair want to implement a Quiet Zone?
The loudness and shrillness of the train horns, coupled with the significant increase in the number of trains, has created a township-wide noise pollution problem, dramatically affecting the health and quality of life of many Montclair residents and business owners. Although Montclair now prohibits the blowing of train horns between 7 PM and 7 AM, this ban would have ceased to be observed if the Township had not filed a Notice of Detailed Plan by June 24. Montclair has until June 2010 to make the required modifications at our grade crossings.
