Three residents supported the closure, citing train noise, lost sleep and quality of life. The Council adopted Ordinance 90 of 2024 temporarily closing the segment, for up to two years under state law, so the city can fix the rail crossing and restore the Woods Cross Quiet Zone, which the Federal Railroad Administration suspended after finding the crossing's safety measures inadequate.

Discussed
The Council was briefed on an ordinance temporarily closing this segment of 1000 West, for up to two years under state law, so the city can fix the rail crossing. The Federal Railroad Administration suspended the Woods Cross Quiet Zone after finding the crossing's safety measures inadequate. Staff said a repair plan would go to the FRA in December 2024, that a waiver application had been filed to speed the process, and that crossings in North Salt Lake also need repairs. Mayor Mendenhall thanked the Council for the original quiet-zone plan.
