FLAGSTAFF, Ariz – The City of Flagstaff is asking community members to take its Community Rail Safety Survey to provide input on rail safety. Questions include preferred solutions to reduce risk at roadway rail crossings as well as preferred educational and enforcement solutions to improve safety. To take the survey, visit surveymonkey.com/r/COFDMWeb.
The City of Flagstaff and BNSF are partnering to develop a Community Rail Safety Plan in conjunction with design and construction of several large civil works projects along the Flagstaff rail corridor (comprising the Lone Tree Overpass and Downtown Mile projects). This plan will help address areas of risk and identify mitigations to improve safety throughout Flagstaff.
The planned improvements include a roadway overpass of the rail corridor, two pedestrian underpasses in the downtown area, reconstruction of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Milton Road/B40 bridge with enhanced pedestrian facilities and crossing safety improvements at Beaver Street and San Francisco Street.
Your input on the Community Rail Safety Plan is vital to help the City of Flagstaff and BNSF improve safety along the rail corridor for the Flagstaff community.
