Downtown San Diego Quiet Zone Update
Filed Under categories: Columbia District, Downtown San Diego, Marina District, News You Can Use
posted by Francine Finn on February 4th, 2010
Attention Sleep Deprived Citizens of Downtown San Diego!
UPDATE
SD Quiet Zone Project Bid Opening 2/25/10
Location: City of SD Purchasing & Contracts Dept
Time: 2:00 p.m.
Contact: Scott Johnson, johnson@ccdc.com
Original post April 9 2009 - It appears that the sale of ear plugs, sleeping pills and noise reducing devices might be on the decline SOON. The word at a meeting of the “people who know” confirmed that we are 99.9% on line to have the Downtown San Diego Quiet Zone become a reality.
The Downtown San Diego Quiet Zone will be the largest (with 13 at-grade rail crossings) quiet zone in the United States. Not only is the physical area it encompasses large, but it required 6 different railway users (Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway BNSF, San Diego Trolley, San Diego Imperial Valley Railway SDIV, North County Transit District NCTD, COASTER, Amtrak). It is nothing short of a small miracle that the residents of downtown who have been living with the horns waking them for years are still.

At long last the citizens of downtown have a definite answer to “What is happening with the Quiet Zone approval?”
It appears that the engineers on the late night freight trains may ultimately be spared further wrath and threat of bodily injury from those who have had their sleep interrupted by the sounding of the train horns as they approach each street intersection. Read the rest of this entry »

Downtown San Diego is beginning to see a revival and stirring of renewed interest. Perhaps the fence sitters are reading the news and realizing waiting for some apocalypse to signal the bottom may not be the wisest choice. The bottom is somewhere between then and now and while interest rates are low, sellers are motivated and prices are below 2005 levels, it’s time to get off the fence and make an offer! (Unless, of course you think that fence is going to appreciate more than the real estate you buy today in the next 5 to 7 years). Read the rest of this entry »
