The city has created a webpage with information on current quiet zone applications.

From Jody Zemel in the Planning and Development Review Department:
In response to those who have asked about the “Quiet Zones” being
established around some of Austin’s railroad tracks, I have created a
web page in the Neighborhood Assistance Center for updates on this
process.This page has all the latest information we have at the city currently
and I will be updating the page when the information changes.The COA will inform the Citizens of the final designation of the quiet
zone, when it occurs.Thanks for your patience and please share this information with your
neighborhood listserves.Jody

I live in Mesapark, Austin, Texas. Our “Quite Zone” was established on 2/22/2011. A train just went by and he was blowing his horn. They are still not observing the “quiet zone”.
I called the Federal Railroad Authority at the following number: http://www.mesaparkaustintexas.blogspot.com.
How does one get them to stop?
