Claypool Crossings To Get Lights, Security Gates
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
CLAYPOOL - Warning lights and security gates will be installed at five railroad crossings in town according to information received from Mike Scime, a Conrail Railroad representative.
Plans to close four of the nine crossings in town should occur by next fall, according to a proposal signed in April. Church, Railroad and Walnut street crossings will be permanently closed. The lights and gating systems on the remaining crossings - at Section, Clay, Main and Harrison streets and Graceland Avenue - will be paid in equal amounts through a new state-funded program and by the railroad company.
Board members Don Miller, Nikki Lincoln and Duane Allen heard the application to fund water projects was denied. Another application will be sent in the spring.
Monies received through the Build Indiana program will go toward expanding the "Town Barn," 408 S. Graceland Ave., which is used as a storage facility. Plans include more storage space and a room for town meetings.
Clerk-treasurer Shelly Thomas said advertisement for 2000 trash collection will be soon.
The next meeting will be Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. in the fire station. [[In-content Ad]]
