PSVRR is in an unfortunate position with local government over a road widening project.
“A future expansion of a two-lane road into a four-lane corridor in Folsom that crisscrosses the tracks could mean that their current permit to run within the city of Folsom isn't renewed by the governing body made up of several counties, including Folsom.”
“The type and cost of making a safe crossing are the big issue.”
…
“Two safe crossing options are an at-grade, i.e., an at-street level crossing system, or creating an overpass.”
“Aquino said the cheaper option of an at-grade crossing is not guaranteed to be signed off on by the California Public Utilities Commission, which oversees state railroad crossing construction.”
