WHEREAS, during the design stage of the Phase I Quiet Zone project, significant,
unanticipated costs were realized; and
WHEREAS, the installation of Wayside Horns at Elm Street/Union Pacific Railroad
(UPRR) Crossing is estimated to be $228,800; and
WHEREAS, Elm Street at the UPRR crossing has the lowest traffic volume, at 795
vehicles per day, of all the City's crossings along the UPRR corridor; and
WHEREAS, Public Works Engineering is recommending closing the Elm Street
crossing at UPRR instead of construction Wayside Horns, which would result in savings of
approximately $208,800.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the process to close the Union Pacific Railroad
Crossing at Elm Street may proceed.
