Long Beach approves contract notice with Moran Hauling for railroad crossing improvements
Summary
The board authorized execution of a contract notice with Moran Hauling to improve and raise several railroad crossings; city staff said the work is the first step before paving and will include coordination on sequencing to reduce traffic impacts.
The Long Beach Board of Aldermen voted Oct. 15 to execute a contract notice with Moran Hauling for improvements to railroad crossings across the city.
Mayor (speaker 1) said the project represents years of work and will address crossings citywide by raising and rebuilding sections to reduce steep inclines. Staff described the scope as construction and elevation work across multiple crossings; a pre-construction meeting will set the contractor's sequencing. The board did not specify which crossing will be first; staff said the contractor will make that scheduling decision while considering school-bus routes and traffic.
The motion to approve the contract notice carried with no recorded opposition. City staff said the crossing rebuild will allow later paving work in adjacent segments.
