Require the City to Build a Railroad Noise Wall Along Stage Road


Require the City to Build a Railroad Noise Wall Along Stage Road
The Issue
We recently purchased a property in the neighborhood of Stage Rd and immediately noticed the daily train and factory noise pollution. Speaking with the neighbors, they all shared with us what a big issue this is for them and that it's been getting worse for the last few years. Originally there was only one train track, but in recent years this has grown to six train tracks with more trains passing through each day. New factories have also been built during this time.
The expansion of train tracks and factories on Stage Rd results in significant environmental noise pollution in the surrounding neighborhoods, especially as trains are more frequent at night, which is frustrating for the residents of La Mirada.
The houses in the neighborhood existed long before the factories and the additional train tracks. The uptick in noise pollution is devaluing the neighborhood and upsetting residents.
The city council needs to invest in a noise barrier along Stage Rd to reduce this noise pollution. Such barriers have been proven effective in other communities facing similar issues. Please sign this petition to urge our city council to take action and improve our quality of life by building a railroad noise wall along Stage Road.
