railroad safety regulations contained at
49 CFR 222.9. FRA assigned the petition

risk reduction credit for the 6-inch high
medians that extend approximately 330
feet to the west of the Laraway Road
crossing (DOT #478794H) and 655 feet
to the east of the crossing. Specifically,
New Lenox is requesting an exception to
the requirement that non-traversable
curbs may be used only at locations
where highway speeds do not exceed 40
mph.
The Village asserts the Laraway Road
crossing is under the jurisdiction of the
Will County Department of
Transportation, which is unwilling to
reduce the current 45 mph highway
speed limit at the crossing. Therefore,
while the current highway speed limit
would likely remain unchanged, the
Village notes that the Will County
Division of Transportation would be
willing to install 40-mph speed advisory
signs approximately 300 feet in advance
of the Laraway Road crossing for both
eastbound and westbound highway
traffic.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at
the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
(DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200
New Jersey Ave. SE., W12–140,
Washington, DC 20590. The Docket
Operations Facility is open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.

FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2017-0044.
The Village is seeking a waiver from the definition of a non-
traversable curb in 49 CFR 222.9, to allow for quiet zone risk
reduction credit for the 6-inch high medians that extend approximately
330 feet to the west of the Laraway Road crossing (DOT #478794H) and
655 feet to the east of the crossing. Specifically, New Lenox is
requesting an exception to the requirement that non-traversable curbs
may be used only at locations where highway speeds do not exceed 40

The Village asserts the Laraway Road crossing is under the
jurisdiction of the Will County Department of Transportation, which is
