He asked if Mr. Ross would like to say anything about this. Dira:tor Ross said it sounds like it has been an issue with City Council before so maybe there isn~ anything to say . It was called to his attention, he said. and as a,on IS he hcanl about it it caused him a lot of conccm as well to have the potential at an intersection whre we can have a green light a.id then a train going through it He said he understands there have been at least lhree accidents at that intersection.

DiRctor Roos advised U,ey approached the r~iro,.d with that and they indicated they did not want that respoDS1bility .
