Development will require the <br /> signalization of that intersection, and that will require grade crossing protection devices for the <br /> CSX tracks located nearby. Blackstone has agreed to pay for the crossing devices. However, <br /> CSX has insisted that the work must be done by CSX under an agreement with the City. <br /> Therefore, the parties have agreed: (1) CSX and the City will enter an agreement for the <br /> installation of the devices, and (2) Blackstone and the City will enter another agreement whereby <br /> Blackstone will reimburse the City for the costs of the project. The City will have no liability. <br /> Assistant City Manager A.J. Krieger will be available to answer questions regarding this <br /> development. <br /> Attachments <br />
