The alternatives being considered include:
doing nothing (leaving the crossing as is);
grade separation of a street or path from the railway tracks (e.g. underpass or overpass);
making a crossing for pedestrian and cyclist use only, either at grade or through a grade separation; and,
closing the crossing.
To determine a recommended solution, the study will look at the unique context of each individual crossing and consider the transportation network holistically (e.g., how does closure at one location
impact another). Not all alternatives may be applicable at each crossing, but generally each of these options will be considered.
