At Monday’s council meeting, councilman Keith Farrell shared residents’ concerns about the railroad crossing at South Finley Street, and the on-going construction closure of the tracks. In a surprising revelation, Director of Public Works Jack Snyder stated he had looked into the issue that very day. After speaking with CSX officials, Snyder said that apparently the railroad company had simply “forgot” about it.
CSX promised to have the work completed and the crossing re-opened by the end of the week.
Concern over emergency services needing to travel though that area was discussed and although it might be an inconvenience, those services would not be hampered.
