Scope of Services
Proiect Understandin2
The Ashland Rail Crossing project is located within the Ashland city limits along a
section of railroad track operated by Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad (CORP) in
Jackson County, Oregon. The project includes upgrading five existing at-grade railroad
crossings to current ODOT crossing standards over a five year period. The crossings to
be improved include Laurel/Hersey Street, Oak Street, East Main Street, W alker Avenue,
and Glenn Street.
The Laurel/Hersey Street crossing is located at the intersection of two busy avenues and
will be the terminus ofthe future North Ashland Multi-use Path. Proposed improvements
to this single track crossing include installing automated crossing gate signals and precast
concrete crossing panels, rebuilding the approach roadways as necessary to meet grade
requirements, providing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and installing appropriate
signing and pavement markings.
The Oak Street crossing negotiates two CORP tracks and is within 50 feet ofthe
intersection of Van Ness Avenue with Oak Street. Proposed improvements at this
location include installing automated crossing gate signals and precast concrete crossing
panels, widening the crossing to accommodate future bike lanes and sidewalks, and
installing appropriate signing and pavement markings.
The East Main Street crossing crosses one CORP track and currently has automated
crossing gates and signals that will remain. Proposed improvements to this crossing
include installing precast concrete crossing panels, widening the crossing to
accommodate future bike lanes and sidewalks, and installing appropriate signing and
. pavement markings.
The Walker Avenue crossing also crosses one CORP track and currently has automated
crossing gates and signals. Proposed improvements to this crossing include insta.lling
precast concrete crossing panels, widening the crossing to accommodate future bike lanes
and sidewalks, and installing appropriate signing and pavement markings.
The Glenn Street crossing is a low volume residential street that crosses one CORP track.
This crossing is also along the alignment of the future North Ashland Multi-use Path.
While this crossing has been identified as a possible future closure, it is proposed that
minimum upgrades be done to the crossing to make it compatible with the Multi..use Path
project. Coordination with CORP and ODOT Rail Division will be needed to determine
the necessary upgrades to this crossing.
The City of Ashland has previously applied to ODOT Rail Division for authorization to
modify the crossings at Oak Street, East Main Street, and Walker Avenue. It is expected
that the final rail orders will be approved in late August. The City will also provide
survey information for all five of the crossing locations, negotiate right-of-way needs as
necessary, and provide construction inspection for each of the five projects.
Rail Order permit applications will be prepared for the proposed crossing modifications
at Laurel/Hersey St. and Glenn St. Ongoing coordination with CORP and ODOT Rail
Division is expected on all five crossings. Each project will include but not be limited to
adjusting existing utilities, installing new drainage facilities, installing concrete curbs and
islands, installing new signing and pavement markings, roadway grading, basing, and
paving. Design will also be required for staging, traffic control, and erosion control.
