1 4 ' r A12 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, April 24, 1996 Rail gates panned THE FRANK ST. railway crossing is one of the three most dangerous uncontrolled crossings in B.C., according to federal offi- cials. But city council is reluctant to chip in for flashing lights and arms at the crossing — even though the federal] government has said it will. pay $114,400 or about 80 per cent of the price tag. The cily’s cost would be $19,000, but councillors fear a high cost of replacing arms that break off there. There isn’t enough room to fit large trucks wailing to get onto the highway north of the tracks, and often the crossing arms come down on the back end of a !oad, and then break off when the truck moves. “Every time one of those arms get smashed, taxpayers get hit for $6,000," councillor Ruth Hallock said.

City engineering director Stew Christensen said the property, near Kenney St, is among those that were changed in a blanket rezone earlier this year to make all south side residential lands KALUM and Kerr Streets will be the major intersections along the heavily travellled strip of Keith Ave. City councillors agreed gn that point last week when they met to debate future highways access. They also support the highways ministry plan to create a back access road behind many of the businesses on the north side of Keith Ave. The road would enter and exit Keith at the intersection with Kalum St. City planner David Trawin said the planning department sees the access road as an additional option for motorists, adding he doesn’t support closing off direct highways ac- cess for businesses there, Councillors didn’t specifically endorse the idea of clos- ing Keefer and Cramer Streets off at Keith, which high- ways planners propose and which Trawin also supporied. The meeting heard from Kerr St. resident Maria Almeida who was worried about traffic increases on Kerr, But that’s inevitable, Trawin said, noting development will eventually happen south of the bridge along the river, bringing more traffic to the neighbourhood. traffic debated | For ats Little as 2.50 per minute.
