The greatest contributing factor to the rough rail crossing is the poor condition of Conrail's roadbed. The next greatest cause of the poor crossings is the heavy volume of traffic using State, Seneca, and Buffalo Streets. Poor drainage at the crossings also aggravates the situation. Background: For several years the City has been trying to persuade Conrail (formerly Lehigh. Valley) to carry out its responsibility for maintaining its grade crossings. In 1975, a capital project request was made of Common Council for 1976 funding to rebuild the three cros- sings. The request was denied. Contacts with the NYS Department could be put together for a cooperative effort between the State and City for the crossing improvements. Such a program was changed on different occasions and was slow in materializing. The latest program proposed by the State involves the use of federal -aid funds under the Federal=Aid ighwAy.=Program. Proposal: The NYS Department of Transportation is sponsoring program p g a p g am whereby Conrail will come in with its forces and rebuild the three west - end crossings using modern grade -crossing materials.. While this work is in progress on one crossing at a time, the City is expected to provide the necessary traffic control and detours. The Traffic Engineer is. working out traffic control details now. Reconstruction of the grade crossings would be accomplished during the summer of 1980. Due to the involvement of federal funds, it becomes necessary to bring the associated traffic signal system up to state and federal standards. Now obsolete, the entire system of traffic and warning signals would have to be revised. Such a system could be revised to include design for an emergency pre-emption signal system which would allow an ambu- lance dispatcher, for example, to send a signal which would preclude a train from moving into the area of the west end crossings until an ambulance bound for the hospital cleared the railroad tracks. Such a system has not yet been authorized by NYS Department of Transportation, but the design for the signal system revision could include it when submitted for approval. The State is proposing that the City design the signal system revision; submit it for approval; then, using our forces, install the new system. In both cases --the traffic control and the signal work --the State will reimburse the City 100%. Discussion followed on the floor concerning the proposed project. At . this time, it is estimated that the traffic control, which includes the use of off-duty policemen at critical intersections, will cost approximately $15,000. Likewise, a rough estimate (design is not complete) of the traffic signal work cost is $50,000.00 City Attorney Shapiro suggested that the Personnel Administrator be informed of the plans as they may involve employees' contracts. Fr Resolution OS* By Comm. Cleveland: Seconded by Comm. Walker RESOLVED, That it is recommended that a capital project be established in the amount of $65,000 in order for the City to participate in the cooperative program of improving the three west end railroad crossings. It is also recommended that the Superintendent of Public Works be authorized to enter into an agreement with the NYS Department of Trans- portation for the implementation of the program and reimbursement for City expenses upon approval of the agreement form by the City Attorney.
