Committee discusses sidewalks, rail crossing and quiet-zone implications near Route 30
Summary
Members discussed requesting sidewalks from Navajo to Route 30, but noted sidewalks near tracks could trigger quiet-zone gating requirements and would require coordination with the railroad and county.
Committee members raised pedestrian safety concerns along the stretch from Navajo to Route 30 and discussed whether the county would help fund sidewalks and related safety measures at the railroad crossing. A member said that if sidewalks are installed near the tracks, there may be a requirement for gating as part of a quiet-zone effort, meaning additional infrastructure and coordination with the railroad.
Members agreed that these items — sidewalks, gates and marked crosswalks — should be included among the prioritized requests to the county but recognized such work would require interagency coordination. The committee noted the county would have to work with the railroad and the village or township on permit and grant implications before any construction could proceed.
