Those of you like myself who rely on 4th St. for their daily commutes understand the dire condition of the railroad crossing near 4th and Broadway. Not only is it hard on vehicles but also of late has become a traffic issue with commuters having to slam on their brakes to prevent speed-bump-like damage to their vehicles. I wanted to let you know I've been in contact with Richard Sandefur with the City of Moore over the past couple of months trying to get BNSF to repair this crossing. Here are the responses just as FYI:
I hadn't heard or seen any progress in nearly 2 months so I emailed him once again last night to which he responded:Originally Posted by Richard Sandefur

I talked to Road Master Chris Jennings from BNSF on January 5th about the crossing. He said there were other crossings in the area. He also stated that 4th street would need to be completely closed off. I said that would not be a problem. I assured him we would help in any way we can. I will ask our Assistant City Manager to follow up on this asap.
Thanks
Richard
Sad to see BNSF's total disregard for the upkeep of this crossing.
