2018 is on track for big things in Glendale

GLENDALE – The village is inching closer to the sound of silence in 2018.

Glendale Village Administrator Walter Cordes says the Glendale Quiet Zone Project, which means trains will no longer blow their horns when passing through the village, should be complete in the fall of 2018.

Cordes says the project has been successful thanks to volunteer work and financial contributions of supportive Glendale residents.

The village administration has also worked with CSX this fall to move the noisy idling and staged railroad train engines to the northern limits of Glendale; a distance where they will not be heard by residents. CSX’s use of the new idling location has already begun. It is expected to be complete in early 2018. 

2018 will also bring a new look to Glendale Police Station. An interior/exterior remodeling project is scheduled for completion in February. 

The village will change its notification system for emergencies, road closures and public safety in 2018 as well. The village will go to Hamilton County’s new RAVE phone notification system, which the administrator says has more capabilities and is significantly less expensive.
