REGULAR BOARD MEETING

SEPTEMBER 26, 2019

 

Preamble

Motion by:

 

Fasana

 

Report on Automatic Crossing Gates

 

Every day, Metro’s light rail trains cross numerous protected at-grade intersections.  When trains approach these intersections, the automatic crossing gates move to the down position to protect motorists and pedestrians from passing trains. 

 

Since Metro’s rail lines have been in operation, the Board has not received data on gate down time for at-grade crossings.
