Iit compliance with Section 203 of the Highway Safety Act of 1973. a Statewide
Program has been developed to inventory and improve passive protection at public
railroad grade crossings within the State. This program will provide for signing
and marking improvements at those public crossings where a need is defined by the
State acting by and through the State Department of Highways and Public Transporta-
tion. Federal funding for such improvements is to be provided by Section 203 of
the 1976 Highway Safety Act with State matching funds; no City or County funds will
be required.
Districtwide projects, which include your jurisdiction, are proposed to make the
necessary improvements. These projects will provide for the installation or
upgrading of crossbu k signs, number of track signs, advance warning signs, and
pavement markings to conform with the standards specified in the Texas Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
Since improvement needs may be designated at crossings within your jurisdiction,
your participation in this program is recommended. Such participation will require
the acceptance and return of this agreement.
By your acceptance oA this agreement, signing or marking improvements designated
in the proposed project can be Slade under the above mentioned funding. Existing
passive protection devices found to be nonstandard or in poor condition will be
salvaged and disposed of without credit to your jurisdiction. Upon completion
of the project, the newly installed or upgraded devices, excluding crossbuck and
number of track signs, shall become your jurisdiction's property and maintenance
responsibility.
By duly authorizing the signing and return of one copy of this letter, the
City/G&"A*y of LvET®ocr_ grants permission for the State or
its Agent to perform the work herein described as may be necessary to provide a
minimum passive warning system at those public street/road grade crossings of
railroads within its jurisdiction as defined and designated by the State.
Your early consideration and approval is requested to allow a project for said
improvements.
Sincerely yours
