This would help cover staff costs for the application process and the <br />installation of whatever supplemental safety measures (SSMs) that the CPUC and US FRA will likely require as a condition of <br />approval. Such well-established and federally -permitted quiet zones silence the otherwise -mandatory 4 train hom blasts per train, <br />per crossing, while still allowing for discretionary just -cause hom use (as with motor vehicles) and will not only benefit all <br />residents, businesses and downtown al fresco diners, strollers and park -goers within earshot of the tracks, with Caltrain service <br />expansion plans, it will make for a far quieter, more attractive development for Greystar and its future tenants as this area is <br />adjacent to 3 crossings. Win -win-win! <br />
