Hey all, Austin Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo sponsored a resolution (Resolution No. 20180426-039) that passed at a city council meeting on April 26 instructing the city manager to "engage and discuss with Union Pacific Railroad to determine if there are any additional steps... that could mitigate the noise caused by Union Pacific Railroad's cargo trains and report back to Council no later than August 1, 2018." The resolution specifically mentions rail squeal as a concern. This means that if you have any input or ideas about how to solve the rail squeal problem, or if you just want to stress to the city manager how important it is to fix it, reach out now to his assistant via this email form: https://austintexas.gov/email/jasonalexander
