Lehi Quiet Zone Reinstatement

Jan. 3, 2025

Lehi City received formal notice on January 3, 2025, from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) that all at-grade railroad crossings within the Lehi Quiet Zone are now in compliance.

This includes crossings at 800 South, 900 South, and 1700 South within the city limits of Salt Lake City.

"In addition to acknowledging the speedy turnaround by the Federal Railroad Administration, we extend our appreciation for all the efforts by Lehi City, multiple agencies, and Salt Lake City Corporation, particularly the efforts by those within the Public Services Department to resolve this matter," said Mark Stephens, City Engineer.

Train horns will now be silenced at all at-grade railroad crossings within the areas encompassed by the Lehi Quiet Zone within seven days of receipt of the FRA letter dated January 3, 2025.

Salt Lake City officials are still awaiting FRA approval of an access plan for impacted businesses on the Woods Cross Quiet Zone and will continue to work with its partners to address train horns along that route. The City has closed an intersection near 1000 West between South Temple and Interstate 15 to address the deficiency outlined by the FRA.
