Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 8, 2009 / Notices 46295 

equipped, no later than the quiet zone 

implementation date, with active grade 

crossing warning devices comprising 

both flashing lights and gates which 

control traffic over the crossing and that 

conform to the standards contained in 

the MUTCD. Such warning devices shall 

be equipped with constant warning time 

devices, if reasonably practical, and 

power-out indicators.’’ The purpose of 

constant warning time devices (CWT) is 

so that the crossing warning devices 

provide the same amount of warning 

time regardless of the speed of the 

approaching train. 

The City is in the process of 

establishing a new partial quiet zone 

along the BNSF Railway’s (BNSF) 

Northwest Division, Fallbridge 

Subdivision, which would extend from 

approximately Milepost 9.95 to 

Milepost 10.51. The new partial quiet 

zone will consist of three public atgrade crossings: West 11th Street (DOT 

#092276S), Jefferson Street (DOT 

#090249N), and West 8th Street (DOT 

#090248G). The City seeks a waiver 

from the defined hours for a new partial 

quiet zone (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) in order 

to have the new partial quiet zone’s 

hours to be from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The 

City states that the change is sought to 

provide noise relief during the 

downtown residents and convention 

visitors prime sleeping periods while 

minimizing the effect on peak 

commercial traffic movements or safety. 

The City plans to utilize a temporary 

closure supplementary safety measure at 

the West 8th Street crossing and that 

there would be virtually no adverse 

impact on highway traffic if the street 

was open to traffic from 6 a.m. to 10 

p.m. 

The City’s new partial quiet zone plan 

includes the use of medians at the 

Jefferson Street grade crossing. The 

medians will be alternative safety 

measures as the southern median will 

only extend 50 feet from the gate. 

Jefferson Street is currently equipped 

with automatic warning devices 

consisting of standard flashing lights 

with gates. However, the warning 

devices are not equipped with CWT. 

The City states that the use of CWT at 

this crossing is not reasonably practical 

at this location since the crossing will 

be closed by December 31, 2011, as part 

of the City’s Waterfront Access project. 

The City is requesting a temporary 

waiver through the end of 2011, at 

which time the crossings will be closed 

as part of the City’s Waterfront Access 

project. 

The City states that it works closely 

with BNSF on a variety of projects and 

believes that it has a good working 

relationship with the railroad. The City 

contacted BNSF immediately 

concerning the proposed waivers and 

that the BNSF did not express any 

reservation with the proposed new 

partial quiet zone hours of 10 p.m. to 6 

a.m. The City requested input from 

BNSF on the quiet zone improvements 

proposed for Jefferson Street but had not 

received a response. The City does not 

anticipate BNSF support for the portion 

of the waiver concerning CWT and 

decided to file the waiver petition alone 

in order to expedite the process. It also 

states that the lack of a joint submission 

will not compromise public safety or 

will applying the requirement of a joint 

submission be likely to significantly 

contribute to public safety.

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings since 

the facts do not appear to warrant a

the end of the comment period and
