New developments may contribute to an increase in traffic volumes not only on <br /> streets and at intersections,but also at at-grade highway-rail crossings. <br /> Safety factors to consider include the planning for grade separations for major thoroughfares, <br /> improvements to existing at-grade highway-rail crossings due to increase in traffic volumes and <br /> appropriate fencing to limit the access of trespassers onto the railroad right-of-way. <br /> The above-mentioned safety improvements should be considered when approval is sought for new <br /> development. Working with Commission staff early in the conceptual design phase will help <br /> improve the safety to motorists in the City. <br /> If you have any questions in this matter, please call me at (916) 324-7134 <br /> Very ^ly,yo�yours, <br /> V�" <br /> David Stewart <br /> Utilities Engineer <br /> Consumer Protection and Safety Division <br />
