In today's Royal Oak Review, there's an article about new barriers at railroad crossings being installed in Ferndale with the result being that trains no longer need to blow their horns (as much) at intersections. We need this in Royal Oak!
I live along the railroad track and I love it, except for when I'm relaxing in my home with my windows open and a train comes by blasting the horn. I've had friends jump up in the air in shock. It's awful noise pollution. Especially now with millions of dollars of new development going in and around downtown and along the train track, this is a significant quality of life issue that we need to address.
If this works in Ferndale, it would be really great to implement in Royal Oak.

City would provide plans and ideas for native plants, etc. Resident would pass ideas to city for approval and incorporation into garden. Resident would maintain garden with city's guidance. Gardens would: a) Prevent excess rainwater from filling storm sewers, b) Provide some sewerage relief for homeowner, and c) Provide bees with even more flowers for pollen collection.

On two separate occasions this summer, I was riding my bicycle on Washington and Main St (around 11 mile). I was in the street - as bikes are required to do - going a respectable speed and right on top of the bike "sharrow" when I was aggressively honked and yelled at by cars! In Royal Oak?! I couldn't believe it!
Of course I pointed out the "sharrow" and yelled back at them "Share the road!", but that got me thinking... these drivers must not know the rules. We have very visible signs instructing bikes to walk on the sidewalk... But where are the signs telling automobiles to share the road with bikes?! (To my knowledge, there are none).
This is a public safety issue... As the city keeps growing and developing, we need to make sure that bicyclists are safe and respected on the road. We need to put up signs letting everyone know to "share the road".
