UPRR has a policy to close 3 at-grade existing crossings in exchange for the creation of one new at-grade crossing . The City currently has 2
crossing closure credits and has identified one additional potential closure , if needed , to meet UPRR crossing policy .
The City and the railroads collaborate on projects which affect railroad/street intersections by funding the railroads ' preliminary engineering review

FWWR's engineering review at $15 ,000, and City staff cost of $10 ,000. In November 2022, the Developer and City executed a Developer Funding
