Greentown council votes to document poor railroad crossings and ask attorney to notify railroad
Summary
After council discussion, a motion carried directing Council member Mark Lantz to provide photos to the town attorney so legal notice can be sent to the railroad under the Indiana Code about poor crossing conditions.
Greentown’s Town Council voted to document poor conditions at local railroad crossings and asked the town attorney to prepare legal notice to the railroad company citing the Indiana Code.
Attorney Mr. Peelle said he would draft a letter to the railroad regarding the town’s concerns about the crossings’ conditions and the need for maintenance in the railroad right-of-way. President Scott Deyoe asked Council member Mark Lantz to provide photographs of the crossings to Mr. Peelle so the attorney could prepare appropriate legal notification. Mrs. Debra Everling moved that Mr. Lantz provide the photographs; Mr. Craig Standish seconded. The motion carried; council did not record a roll-call vote in the meeting minutes.
The council’s direction instructs the attorney to prepare a formal notice to the railroad under state law; the meeting record did not specify a timeline for sending the letter or list the railroad company by name.
