Slaters Lane Rail Road Crossing
The City is currently reviewing an agreement with the new owner (Southern
Energy Inc.) of the power plant along E. Abingdon Drive.  This agreement
includes a condition to provide funding for upgrading 2 rail road crossings
on Slaters Lane and West Abingdon.  If this agreement is approved by the
City manager, funding will be available after July 2001.  These rail road
crossings improvements will be constructed in conjunction with any other
improvements resulting from the TES's Slaters Lane traffic study.  TES will
be soliciting public input during both the study and design phases.  The
study is scheduled to commence Spring 2001.

Duke Street Pedestrian Bridge near Cameron Station (FY 02 CMAQ)
TES is requesting funding from the State (CMAQ) to widen the existing
fly-over ramp, which extends from Duke Street into Cameron Station, to
provide pedestrian and bicycle access from the north side of Duke Street
into Ben Brenamen Park.  TES will be soliciting public input during both the
study and design phases.  The study is scheduled to commence after July
2001.
