JONESBORO, Ark. — Which railroad crossing causes the most trouble on your drive? The city of Jonesboro is asking residents to identify delays and safety concerns as part of a study of 18 crossings along the BNSF rail corridor. The survey closes Oct. 12.
The survey asks which crossings residents think should be replaced with a bridge, underpass or another solution, and which single crossing affects them most. Choices include four crossings along Dan Avenue, crossings at Culberhouse Street, Fisher Street, Neil Drive and Airport Road, and several along Arkansas 463.
Residents can also describe blocked crossings, near misses, poor visibility, rough pavement and problems for people walking or biking. Other questions address effects on nearby property and neighborhoods, use by heavy vehicles or farm equipment, and concerns about existing bridges.
The city says the study will consider crossing upgrades, bridges or underpasses, traffic changes and possible closures. Public feedback will help shape recommendations for future consideration. Jonesboro, AR
Residents can complete the online survey or download a paper comment form. The paper form says it may be mailed by Oct. 12 to Craig Light, Jonesboro’s engineering director, at 300 S. Church St., Jonesboro, AR 72401.
