Body

The Raleigh-Cary Rail Crossing Study evaluated the railroad-road crossings between Gorman Street in Raleigh and NE Maynard Road in Cary. The study evaluated existing conditions at each crossing, and made recommendations to change crossing configurations (or close crossings, in some instances) based on topography, safety, land use and economic considerations. Recommendations are available in the project report, which can be downloaded from the RCRX website - www.rcrxstudy.com <http://www.rcrxstudy.com>. The Executive Board will receive a presentation of the project recommendations at its April 20 meeting. The Executive Summary is included as an attachment in this agenda. The TCC has reviewed the recommendations of the RCRX study and forwards a recommendation of endorsement, pending the outcomes of the Public Hearing.

 

Requested Action: Action Conduct Public Hearing. Consider endorsing the recommendations from the RCRX Study pending no adverse comments from the public, the City of Raleigh, Town of Cary or other project partners and stakeholders.
