This study will identify safety risks for pedestrians and bicyclists at the railroad corridors/road at-grade crossings. Data will be collected, and a technical analysis will result in recommended solutions to improve safety along the rail corridors and at specific crossings. The study will also examine the entire length of the study corridors to identify solutions addressing trespassing and suicide incidents The contract price will be based on an estimate of the selected consultant's actual costs plus fixed fee.
