Capitol Avenue <br /> Springfield, IL 62701 <br /> RE: Railroad Safety Project, FY2000-01 <br /> Dear Mr. Stead: <br /> Attached please find a description of a bridge project we have been considering at the City of Decatur. The ', <br /> current Condit street underpass has grown to be ine�cient and possibly dangerous for both the Canadian <br /> National Railroad and the citizens of Decatur. Therefore, we are requesting funding in the amount of$380,000. <br /> We are aware that ICC decisions have been made as to projects for FY2000-01. However, if possible we would <br /> ask you to consider this project for the aforementioned fiscal year. We understand sometimes projects shift to <br /> different timelines, and perhaps our project could take the place of another that was unsuccessful. The Condit <br /> street underpass project is ready to go, should the City of Decatur receive funding. <br /> From the attached documents, you can see that designwork is over 50% complete for this project. A feasibility <br /> study for this site was completed in 1997 by WVP Engineers, with estimated costs at $380,000, and a timeline <br /> of 8 months to completion for the project. This project was placed on hold due to funding. We would be ready <br /> to proceed with the project at your favorable designation of our request. <br /> If unable to process for this fiscal year, please consider this for the next funding session. We await your <br /> response. <br /> incerely <br /> � <br /> Cecil A. Collins, Jr. <br /> Attachments <br /> cc: Steve Garman, City Manager <br /> Steve Swanson, City Engineer <br /> Ron Estes,.Risk Management, Canadian National/Illinois Central Railroad <br /> IPT-L#00-69 Fax 2 I 7 4�4-0674 <br /> Phone(2 I 7) 424-2777 pride of the Prairie � � <br />
