City of Seattle, Washington
[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA–2010–

The City of Seattle, Washington (City),
and the BNSF Railway Company (BNSF)
jointly seek a temporary waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of
the Use of Locomotive Horns at
Highway-Rail Grade Crossings, 49 CFR
part 222. The City intends to establish
a Pre-Rule Quiet Zone that it had
previously continued under the
provisions of 49 CFR 222.41(c)(1). The
City is seeking a waiver for the
requirement to construct and complete
a Pre-Rule Quiet Zone by June 24, 2010,
as required by 49 CFR 222.41(c)(2), and
for an extension of such date to
September 24, 2010.
The City states that it has engaged in
numerous meetings with BNSF to
negotiate a Construction and
Maintenance Agreement (CMA) for the
necessary improvements to establish a
Pre-Rule Quiet Zone. There are 4
crossings in the existing Pre-Rule Quiet
Zone. Three of these crossings will be
treated with Supplementary Safety
Measures (SSM) and Alternative Safety
Measures (ASM) as follows: 2 crossings
with four-quadrant gates (SSM), and 1
crossing with three-quadrant gates and a
median on the approach that has only
one gate (ASM). The 4th crossing will be
upgraded from a pedestrian-only
crossing to a crossing for both vehicles
and pedestrians which will be equipped
with standard flashing lights and gates.
The City and BNSF finalized the CMA
on June 29, 2009. Since that date, the
City has funded almost $1 million in
improvements, specifically to improve
