THE FLORENCE RAILROAD CROSSING SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLANNING PROJECT IS A PLANNING INITIATIVE THAT WILL STUDY 33 RAILROAD CROSSINGS WITHIN CITY LIMITS. THE PROJECT WILL RESULT IN A PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ACTION PLAN THAT WILL IDENTIFY CROSSINGS REQUIRING SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AND DEFINE THE IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE. IMPROVEMENTS MAY INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPROVEMENT OR INSTALLATION OF PROTECTIVE DEVICES, SIGNALS, OR SIGNS FOR PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR SAFETY. THE PLANNING INITIATIVE WILL FURTHER IDENTIFY SPECIFIC CROSSINGS THAT ARE OF HIGH SAFETY CONCERN AND WILL IDENTIFY SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE TO THE CROSSINGS TO PROMOTE SAFETY AND PROVIDE ACCESS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS INITIATIVE WILL IDENTIFY FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPLEMENT THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
