Download as PDF srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 54224 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 171 / Friday, September 3, 2010 / Notices The City notes that there is a preexisting Alternative Safety Measure (ASM) consisting of an 80-foot nontraversable curb median on the southern approach of Chenoweth Lane. The City has committed to implement several interim measures to improve crossing safety until the installation of the fourquadrant gate system at Chenoweth Lane is completed. The City will install 30 feet of non-traversable curb median on the north approach of the Chenoweth Lane crossing. Law enforcement officers will be present during the morning and evening rush hours at varying times and locations to issue citations to motorists and pedestrians that illegally cross the tracks. The City will also include crossing safety information in its quarterly newsletter. The City requests that the existing Pre-Rule Quiet Zone be allowed to continue until September 1, 2011, by which time it is hoped that the four-quadrant gate system will have been completed. The City states that it has had its prerule quiet zone since 1974, and that its residents and others have become accustomed to its existence. It asserts that the proposed extension would not pose any additional risk to public health or safety. The City also notes that it has worked diligently since the Final Rule was released in 2005, to take the necessary steps to retain its pre-rule quiet zone. This includes the retaining of a consulting firm to assist with the project and to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements. Throughout the process, the City and CSX have worked diligently and cooperatively to implement this project. The City and CSX entered into a Preliminary Engineering agreement during the summer of 2008, for the design and cost estimate of the four-quadrant gate system at Chenoweth Lane. CSX requested that the City provide the necessary exit gate timing for the system and recommended that it be obtained from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Unfortunately, confusion on how to obtain this information resulted in CSX not receiving the timing information in sufficient time to enable the installation of the system prior to June 24, 2010. The City terminated its Pre-Rule Quiet Zone on June 1, 2010, as it was not able to complete the necessary improvements prior to the deadline date. It since has learned that it could have asked for a waiver to have the deadline extended and is now asking that the Pre-Rule Quiet Zone be reinstated pending completion of the improvements necessary for the establishment of the quiet zone. The City and CSX are requesting that the June 24, 2010 VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:33 Sep 02, 2010 Jkt 220001 deadline be extended to September 1, 2011, so that the Pre-Rule Quiet Zone can remain active. The City, CSX and Richlawn also petition that the public highway-rail grade crossing on Hubbards Lane (MP T6.38) in Richlawn be included in the City’s Pre-Rule Quiet Zone. Train horns have not been routinely sounded by trains approaching Hubbards Lane crossing for more than 30 years and therefore meets the definition of a PreRule Quiet Zone in 49 CFR 222.9. However, due to either a clerical or administrative error, this crossing was never included in the City’s Pre-Rule Quiet Zone or in a separate Pre-Rule Quiet Zone. A SSM consisting of gates with a non-traversable curb median will be installed by September 15, 2010. The City states that its calculation indicates that the addition of Hubbards Lane with its SSM, results in a Quiet Zone Risk Index (QZRI) for the 6 crossing quiet zones (the 5 existing crossings in the City’s Pre-Rule Quiet Zone plus Hubbards Lane) that would be less than the Risk Index With Horns (RIWH). Even though this would enable the PreRule Quiet Zone to be established without the planned installation of the four-quadrant gate system at Chenoweth, the City is committed to its installation. The City, CSX and Richlawn request that the pre-existing restrictions on the routine sounding of the train horn by trains that are approaching the public crossings on the CSX rail line from Chenoweth Lane to Hubbards Lane be re-instated.
