Tired of waiting for the train?
Spokane Valley residents frequently show up at city council meetings complaining about constant and what they say is unnecessary whistle and horn blowing from passing trains. The Valley is dissected by train tracks and north-south roads are cut by train crossings in many places. Drivers make sometimes dangerous and erratic U-turns when they realize they can't make the crossing before the train -- or they grow impatient waiting for a train to pass and cut through parking lots and over driveways to get away.
City Manager Mike Jackson said collecting all the information on one website would make it easier for the council to take a serious look at the issue.
What do you think? Where do you get stuck waiting for a train in Spokane Valley? Does it bother you or should this not be a high priority for the city?
