| 25. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST |
| Establish a new project. |
| 26. JUSTIFICATION |
| This is a Section 130 Rail-Highway safety upgrade. This project will improve safety at this railroad crossing. BNSF Railway will complete the safety upgrades which consist of a pre-signal, pedestrian gates, barrier fencing, additional lights, and signs. This crossing is a concern for the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), who oversees all railroads in the U.S. There is a history of a high number of incidents at this crossing. Vehicles stop on the tracks as they queue up and wait for the traffic signal on I-40B, just north of the crossing, to turn green. There are three tracks, with 70 trains/day traveling at speeds of 55 mph that cross this road. Trains take a long distance to stop and not able to stop for a vehicle or pedestrian on the track. Installation of a pre-signal south of the tracks that communicates with the I-40B traffic signal will clear traffic off the tracks when a train is approaching. In addition, recently there has been a number of pedestrian fatalities at this crossing. Installation of pedestrian gates, barrier fencing, additional lights, and signs will help to reduce pedestrian fatalities. All 01D funding is 100 percent Section 130 federal funding. ADOT- Oversight, coordination, clearances - $40K BNSF- Preliminary Engineering - $110K |
