The purpose of these projects is to enhance safety, mobility, air quality and emergency response time by climinating at-grade railroad crossings. Completion of the projects will allow for a railroad quite zone from Runnels Street to Leeeland Street. Railroad crosings will nto be closed until underpasses are open to traffic. Both projects will require limited additional right-of-way.
