Item
Approval of Agreements with the Union Pacific Railroad Company and the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company for Improvements to the Ninth Street
Railroad crossings.
Background
The attached agreements have been negotiated with the railroad companies over
the past several months for' replacement of ten (10) and removal of four (4)
existing crossings on North Ninth Street between Bishop Street and North
Street. The wood plank crossings will be replaced with concrete panels similar
to those used on Fourth Street and those on West Crawford Avenue.
This project is a continuation of the City's annual program of railroad crossing
replacements. With the completion of the Ninth Street crossings, Santa Fe will
be the only major railroad crossing corridor that is yet to be improved. The
Santa Fe crossings are scheduled for attention in 1994.
The costs of crossing materials will be paid by the City while the labor and
equipment will be provided by each railroad company. It is anticipated that the
project will take approximately 10 days and will require the detour of traffic.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached agreement.
