Resident urges crossing gates at Meriwether Road railroad crossing
Summary
During public comment, a resident asked the committee to install crossing gates at the Meriwether Road railroad crossing and replace flashing signals that currently do not stop drivers.
During public comment at the July 22 Public Safety Committee meeting, a resident identified as Sammy urged action on the Meriwether Road railroad crossing, saying the existing flashing red-light signals do not stop drivers.
—They need crossing gates because those flashing red light signals just flash when people keep going across the railroad track back and forth, and they don't do anything except flashing,— the resident said, asking that Union Pacific be asked to install gates for safety.
Committee members noted the comment and did not take immediate action at the meeting; the item was entered into public comment and the speaker was invited to remain for agenda discussions.
