Washington state commission OKs funds for two crossing projects
advertisement
The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) recently approved allocations from the Grade Crossing Protective Fund (GCPF) for two crossing projects.
The commission will provide $20,000 from the GCPF to Tacoma Rail to upgrade warning signals at a crossing in Tacoma. The railroad plans to install flashing LED lights and motion-sensing train detection devices, add pedestrian bells to both signal masts and replace crossbuck signs. The $27,095 project must be completed by June 15.
The UTC also will provide $20,000 from the GCPF to the city of Moxee to upgrade warning signals at one crossing and install a “no right turn” sign at a nearby state route. The city plans to install flashing LED lights and gates at the crossing. The $66,730 project must be completed by June 30.
