Residents of Boeing Park voiced their concerns at a recent city council meeting regarding ongoing issues with noise pollution from trains. Camille Truong, a local resident, expressed frustration over the lack of progress on a promised quiet zone along the railroad tracks. She highlighted that the city had secured nearly $9 million for rail crossing safety improvements but noted that residents have yet to see any tangible changes.

Truong emphasized the negative impact of train noise on the community, mentioning health issues such as headaches and increased blood pressure among residents. She pointed out that the noise affects not only adults but also children and pets, causing distress and discomfort.

Despite her passionate plea, Truong's speaking time was cut short after three minutes, leading to further frustration. The council reminded her that additional comments could be made later in the evening. The meeting continued with other residents also eager to share their experiences and concerns about the ongoing noise pollution and its effects on their daily lives.

The city council faces pressure to address these issues and provide clarity on the use of the allocated funds for the promised improvements.
