The City of East Hope established a Railroad Quiet Zone in the fall of 2017 on Centennial Blvd. (Business Loop 200). After a long 2 years and with the support and donations of area residents and the perserverance of the council the City was able to establish a railroad quiet zone which ceased most of the whistles on passing trains. With the increase in train traffic this has brought a little peace and quiet to the area.
Vandalism of Railroad Quiet Zone
The City has been experiencing vandalism to the quiet zone barriers on Centennial Ave. There have been several incidents and significant damage done. The City has reported this damage to the Bonner County Sheriff's office and will be considering installing camera surveillance equipment. These barriers are necessary to maintain the quiet zone status and the costly repairs could jeopardize it . If you see or have any information regarding this please contact city hall. Thank you for your help with this!
