Hanson <br />The at -grade railroad crossing on County Road I32 east of Roseville Area Middle School <br />has deteriorated to the point where it needs to be replaced. It was originally installed in <br />1996. It was part of the first generation of concrete railroad crossings and so it didn't last <br />as long as we would have liked. The technology for the crossings has greatly improved <br />and they now should last more than 20 years. The crossing is owned by CP Rail and its <br />policy is to split the cost of the crossing with the City, with the City also paying for <br />traffic control and pavement restoration. The total cost is estimated at $71,289.00. The <br />City's share is $35,644.50 plus the cost of traffic control and pavement restoration. The <br />additional costs are estimated at $1000, bringing the City's estimated share to <br />$36,644.50. <br />The project was included in the 2012 Capital Improvement Budget at $37,000. Staff <br />recommends the City Council authorize the replacement of the County Road 132 railroad <br />crossing at an estimated cost to the City of $36,644.50, <br />1 <br />
