Mr. Bob Orrick, of the Union Pacific Railroad, stated there are 24
crossings on the McPherson Branch (4th Street) between Elm and Neal and only 3
have automatic signalization.
Mr. C. Shoemaker, who is in charge of crossings for the UPRR, said they
have federal funding for 7 more automatic signal crossings. Each crossing costs
between $60,000 and $100,000 to signalize. The funding is 90% with a local match
of 10%. We are willing to pay the 10% if the city will close 7 crossings, and we
will pay for the closing of those crossings. We propose to the City to establish
a plan on crossing to be closed and which ones to be signalized.
33
Some of the crossings to be considered for closing are: Center, Bond,
Wilson, Beloit, Minneapolis, Ellsworth, Jewell, Kirwin, and Raymond. Suggested
for signalization are: Santa Fe at North Street, Elm, Prescott, Republic,
Claflin, Cloud, Belmont and Magnolia.

would be eliminated; he also asked at what speed the trains travel going down 4th
Street. Mr. Shoemaker responded that the speed is 10 MPH.

should be left open because of the fire trucks going to Heusner school.

of Center Street would ruin his flower business. He wants to know the details of
the plan and when action would be taken.
