Reviewed Ideas
I assume that streets keeps track of congestion at train crossings while a train is passing. Since both rail lines are considering adding a track (for freight, not passenger), I think streets should project congestion based on increased freight traffic and begin to plan for overpasses or additional, alternate crossings for the most congested crossings. I think this issue should be mentioned in the General Plan. If passenger rail is a real possibility, then I think its impact at crossings should also be studied. |
