The City Council of Chicago approved an ordinance authorizing the acceptance of a permanent surface easement from Union Pacific Railroad Company. This easement, covering four distinct areas totaling 545 square feet, is for the purpose of improving public safety at the N Nagle Avenue highway-rail grade crossing (AAR/DOT #173 887G at milepost 10.31). The project, involving the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) and the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), will facilitate the installation and maintenance of pedestrian safety facilities, including a pedestrian escape feature, public sidewalks, and gates. The City of Chicago will compensate Union Pacific Railroad Company $19,585.00 for the grant of easement, a cost that will be reimbursed by the ICC.
