Close that Crossing!

Last September (2014) San Antonio was able to block the railroad crossing at Hoefgen and Essex by taking emergency measures. Read more at KSAT.

When researching how to establish a Quiet Zone in our neighborhood, the Federal Railroad Administration indicated this is the same crossing that would need the most attention. Instead of investing in expensive gates and warning systems, it looks like the city has found a cheaper solution by closing the crossing permanently.
