54224 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 171 / Friday, September 3, 2010 / Notices 

The City notes that there is a preexisting Alternative Safety Measure 

(ASM) consisting of an 80-foot nontraversable curb median on the southern 

approach of Chenoweth Lane. The City 

has committed to implement several 

interim measures to improve crossing 

safety until the installation of the fourquadrant gate system at Chenoweth 

Lane is completed. The City will install 

30 feet of non-traversable curb median 

on the north approach of the Chenoweth 

Lane crossing. Law enforcement officers 

will be present during the morning and 

evening rush hours at varying times and 

locations to issue citations to motorists 

and pedestrians that illegally cross the 

tracks. The City will also include 

crossing safety information in its 

quarterly newsletter. The City requests 

that the existing Pre-Rule Quiet Zone be 

allowed to continue until September 1, 

2011, by which time it is hoped that the 

four-quadrant gate system will have 

been completed. 

The City states that it has had its prerule quiet zone since 1974, and that its 

residents and others have become 

accustomed to its existence. It asserts 

that the proposed extension would not 

pose any additional risk to public health 

or safety. The City also notes that it has 

worked diligently since the Final Rule 

was released in 2005, to take the 

necessary steps to retain its pre-rule 

quiet zone. This includes the retaining 

of a consulting firm to assist with the 

project and to ensure compliance with 

all regulatory requirements. Throughout 

the process, the City and CSX have 

worked diligently and cooperatively to 

implement this project. The City and 

CSX entered into a Preliminary 

Engineering agreement during the 

summer of 2008, for the design and cost 

estimate of the four-quadrant gate 

system at Chenoweth Lane. 

CSX requested that the City provide 

the necessary exit gate timing for the 

system and recommended that it be 

obtained from the Kentucky 

Transportation Cabinet. Unfortunately, 

confusion on how to obtain this 

information resulted in CSX not 

receiving the timing information in 

sufficient time to enable the installation 

of the system prior to June 24, 2010. The 

City terminated its Pre-Rule Quiet Zone 

on June 1, 2010, as it was not able to 

complete the necessary improvements 

prior to the deadline date. It since has 

learned that it could have asked for a 

waiver to have the deadline extended 

and is now asking that the Pre-Rule 

Quiet Zone be reinstated pending 

completion of the improvements 

necessary for the establishment of the 

quiet zone. The City and CSX are 

requesting that the June 24, 2010 

deadline be extended to September 1, 

2011, so that the Pre-Rule Quiet Zone 

can remain active. 

The City, CSX and Richlawn also 

petition that the public highway-rail 

grade crossing on Hubbards Lane (MP 

T6.38) in Richlawn be included in the 

City’s Pre-Rule Quiet Zone. Train horns 

have not been routinely sounded by 

trains approaching Hubbards Lane 

crossing for more than 30 years and 

therefore meets the definition of a PreRule Quiet Zone in 49 CFR 222.9. 

However, due to either a clerical or 

administrative error, this crossing was 

never included in the City’s Pre-Rule 

Quiet Zone or in a separate Pre-Rule 

Quiet Zone. A SSM consisting of gates 

with a non-traversable curb median will 

be installed by September 15, 2010. The 

City states that its calculation indicates 

that the addition of Hubbards Lane with 

its SSM, results in a Quiet Zone Risk 

Index (QZRI) for the 6 crossing quiet 

zones (the 5 existing crossings in the 

City’s Pre-Rule Quiet Zone plus 

Hubbards Lane) that would be less than 

the Risk Index With Horns (RIWH). 

Even though this would enable the PreRule Quiet Zone to be established 

without the planned installation of the 

four-quadrant gate system at 

Chenoweth, the City is committed to its 

installation. The City, CSX and 

Richlawn request that the pre-existing 

restrictions on the routine sounding of 

the train horn by trains that are 

approaching the public crossings on the 

CSX rail line from Chenoweth Lane to 

Hubbards Lane be re-instated.
