Description
Jerry Hardie loves the sights and sounds from his Edmonds condo — the birds, the ferries, "it's all good sounds," he said. Except for one.
Train horns from the Dayton Street crossing below blast all day and into the night.
"It's pretty annoying," said Hardie.
About five years ago, the city declared the waterfront a "quiet zone" and installed what are called "wayside crossing systems" at two downtown intersections.
They alert conductors not to sound the train horns because less noisy wayside speakers will alert drivers a train is coming — making things much quieter for neighbors.
But the crossing system at Dayton Street has been broken since December.
