Residents in one San Mateo neighborhood are sick and tired of hearing train horns at the crossing on Bellevue Avenue.
For Peter Martin, a longtime San Mateo resident, train noise is more than a nuisance. It's a quality of life issue - and he's ready for a solution. 'On a scale of 1-10, with 1 not being offensive at all and 10 being just really difficult, that was about a 4,' he said, after a train passed by. He's a qualified judge. He lives a little less than half a football field away from the E. Bellevue Ave. train crossing. 'I have since 1992, so 32 years,' he said.
So city leaders proposed a temporary closure of the Bellevue crossing, similar to the planned closure of the nearby Villa Terrace crossing. Martin says that idea would literally divide their neighborhood, which doesn't sit well with him either.'It would make our neighborhood on one hand, quieter, but also it would feel a little bit sterile,' he said. Addressing the issue has been a long process.
