HI, EVERYONE. I'M PATTY MORAN WITH STREET TALK.
IF YOU'RE DRIVEN ACROSS THE RAILROAD CROSSING ON BUCKINGHAM AND 78, YOU'VE PROBABLY NOTICED THAT IT'S A MUCH SMOOTHER RIDE.
A LOT OF WORK WENT INTO GETTING THIS CROSSING BACK IN SHAPE.
SO WE HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING YOUR RIDE.
WITH THAT IN MIND, WE'RE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THIS YEAR MORE RAILROAD CROSSINGS WILL BE REPAIRED.
THE GARLAND STREET DEPARTMENT, IN COORDINATION WITH TWO RAILROAD COMPANIES, ACTUALLY OVERSEES A TOTAL OF 51 RAILROAD CROSSINGS IN THE CITY.
AND THE PROCESS TO RENOVATE TEN OF THOSE CROSSINGS BEGAN LAST YEAR.
WE ALSO WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT FOR MORE CROSSINGS ARE GOING TO BE UPDATED AS PART OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
AND LAST YEAR THE STREET DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY COMPLETED TWO OF ITS TEN PROJECTS. THE OTHERS ARE CURRENTLY IN DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE APPROVAL PROCESS.
THESE RAILROAD CROSSINGS ARE LOCATED AT NORTH FIRST STREET, NORTH OF CASTLE DRIVE, EAST BUCKINGHAM ROAD, WEST OF STATE HIGHWAY 78.
THESE TWO HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN COMPLETED.
FOREST LANE AT SOUTH SHILOH ROAD.
THIS PROJECT STARTED THIS MONTH.
FOREST LANE BETWEEN KIRBY STREET AND INTERNATIONAL ROAD.
SOUTH JUPITER ROAD, SOUTH OF FOREST LANE.
MILLER PARK ROAD, NORTH OF MARQUIS DRIVE.
MILLER PARK ROAD, SOUTH OF MARQUIS DRIVE.
WEST KINGSLEY ROAD BETWEEN NATIONAL DRIVE AND INDUSTRIAL LANE.
THESE ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION THIS YEAR.
WEST KINGSLEY ROAD BETWEEN MARKET STREET AND SOUTH SHILOH ROAD.
WEST MILLER ROAD BETWEEN SHERWIN STREET AND SOUTH SHILOH ROAD.
THESE TWO WILL OCCUR AS COORDINATION AND FUNDING ALLOWS.
IN ADDITION TO THESE TEN AND THE FOUR BEING UPDATED AS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
WE ARE EVALUATING THE OTHER REMAINING RAILROAD CROSSINGS TO DETERMINE FUNDING NEEDS AND PRIORITIZATION.
WE'RE EXCITED FOR THESE PROJECTS AND HOPE YOU ARE TOO, SO WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
