NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 177.120 requires the Transportation Cabinet to promulgate administrative regulations that contain standards governing the closure of public railway/highway grade crossings. This administrative regulation sets forth procedures the Transportation Cabinet shall follow regarding the production of a list of railroad crossings which shall be considered for closure, the evaluation of the candidate list with respect to possible closure, and the ultimate decision to recommend closure. KRS 177.120 considers that public safety will be enhanced by the closure of redundant and inherently dangerous crossings.
Section 1. Candidate Lists.
Section 2. Evaluation.
Section 3. Data Verification. If the evaluation performed pursuant to Section 2 of this administrative regulation indicates that a railroad crossing is a candidate for closure, the Transportation Cabinet shall:
Section 4. Public Input.
Section 5. Official Order.
Section 6. Local Closures. The Transportation Cabinet's railroad crossing closure program, as mandated by KRS 177.120, shall not preclude local officials and railroad companies from pursuing railroad crossing closure agreements independent of the cabinet's program.
