Even with the installation of the four-quadrant gates, there will still be horn blowing by <br />the ACE trains as they approach the downtown station to alert rail passengers of the <br />oncoming train. The UPRR engineers may still blow the horns if they believe there is a <br />congested condition at a crossing, but generally they are responsive to the quiet zone <br />designation. <br />While the project does have benefits to the residents in the community, because of the <br />substantial cost for the installation, staff is recommending this project be considered in <br />the overall priorities of the City during the next year's midyear review of the CIP. <br />Normally, midyear reviews of the CIP would not include new projects. If Council does <br />not feel this project is high enough of a priority, then the option would be to consider this <br />project as a part of the normal CIP program and consider it in the 2009 update. <br />Submitted by: Reviewed by: ,//'' Approv by: <br />~~a~~ <br />~~ C <br />Rob Wilson Dave Culver Nelson Fialho <br />Public Works Director Finance Director City Manager <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />
