The Commission will consider projects nominated by
cities, counties, cities and counties, the California 1.4partment of
Transportation, and the various railroad companies operating within
the State for inclusion on the 1983-84 Grade Separation Priority
List. The criteria which the Commission staff proposes to use in
evaluating each nominated project are similar to those found in
Decision 82-06-053.
IT IS ORDERED that an investigation on the Commission's
own motion is instituted for the purpose of establishing a new
?riority list for fiscal year 1983-84, of existing or proposed
railroad grade crossings of public streets, roads, or highways most
urgently in need of separation; projects affecting the elimination
of grade crossings by removal or relocation of streets or railroad
tracks; and existing separation structures most urgently in need of
alteration or reconstruction as contemplated by Section 2452 of the
Streets and Highways Code.
Pubic hearings in the investigation shall be held before

1984.
3. A location map of the project, on paper 8-1/2 inches by

physical practicability and feasibility of constructing an at -grade
crossing in the general area of the proposed separation. No
discussion of economic feasibility is required, only a description
of the physical features in the surrounding terrain which would
allow the construction of an at -grade crossing. If sufficient

evidence is not presented that construction of an at -grade crossing
is practical and feasible, the project will be excluded from the
list.

which does not exceed one-third of the total
funds appropriated for grade separation
projects for the year of allocation, whichever

GRADE SEPARATION NOMINATION INSTRUCTIONS
EXISTING OR PROPOSED CROSSING NOMINATED FOR SEPARATION OR
Items 1 and 2 -- Self-explanatory.
Item 3 --
For identification of railroad -highway crossings,
Public Utilities Commission croasing numbers are
assigned to all crossings. The crossing numbers are
generally painted on the crossing protection equivment;
however, if necessary, the crossing numbers may be
obtained from the Commission staff.
Item 4 --
(if unknown) The type of track may be obtained from
the railroad company.
Item S --
Show width and number of lanes of roadway pavement
within 200 feet on either side of the crossing.
Item 6 --
Show width and number of lanes of roadway pavement at
the crossing.
Item 7 --
Show the latest vehicle traffic count (ADT) and
the estimated ADT as of the nomination filing date.
For proposed crossing projects, show the estimated ADT
upon opening.
- Item S --
It is preferred that the average daily train volume be
obtained by a written request from the railroad,
otherwise, the source of the information should be
provided in the narrative. It is further advised that
the daily train volume should be confirmed by direct
observation.
Item 9 -- The vehicular speed should be the posted speed limit.
The train speed should be the maximum speed attained at
the crossing. The train speed data may be obtained
from the railroad company or by properly operated radar
equivment. The source of the information should be
provided in the narrative.
Item 10 -- Show the total time in minutes per day the warning
devices are activated at the crossing. The data may be
obtained by instal?stion of a signal activation
monitoring device or by estimation of an average delay
per train based on direct observation of a reasonable
number of each type of train (passenger, through
freight, and switching) operating ovix the tracks at
the crossing. In the narrative, specify the method
used to collect the data.
APPENDIX 5
Sheet 2 of 3
Item 11 --
The nearest alternate route as measured along the
centerline of the railroad tracks.
Item 12 --
A 10 -year accident history of the total number of
vehicle -object and vehicle -vehicle accidents that may
be attributed to the presence of the grade crossing.
Item 13 --
Self-explanatory.
Item 14 --
In the narrarjge section of the nomination, show
sufficient evLdence that construction of an at -grade
crossing is physically practical and feasible.
Item 15 --
The estimated project cost shall be as of April 1,
1984. The cost shall be itemized as shown and any item
left blank shall be explained. The estimated cost
shall be limited to that portion of the project which
is necessary to make the grade separation operable and
to effect the separation of grades between the highway
and the railroad tracks.
NOTE: For projects involving more than one crossing, complete the
appropriate form for each individual crossing and also show
a summary for the complete project.
