Hurst council asks state for funds to rehabilitate Precinct Line Road railroad crossing
Summary
Council approved Resolution 18-88 requesting TxDOT funding and an advanced funding agreement to install traffic signs and markings at the Precinct Line Road and Trinity Railway Express crossing and to take over maintenance afterward.
The Hurst City Council approved Resolution 18-88, a request that the state of Texas provide funding through TxDOT Section 130 projects for rehabilitation of the railroad crossing at Precinct Line Road and the Trinity Railway Express crossing.
Robert Saceda, Hurst public works director, told council the resolution requests state funding to install new traffic signs and markings at the crossing and that the city would take over maintenance of those items afterward. The council then voted to approve the resolution; a motion carried with a second.
City staff said the funding would come through TxDOT Section 130 projects and an advanced funding agreement with TxDOT. The transcript records the council's motion to approve Resolution 18-88 but does not provide dollar amounts or a timeline for installation.
The action positions the city to seek state assistance for safety improvements at a rail-highway crossing and to assume long-term maintenance responsibilities after state installation.
