not less than 5% in future projects in
connection with traffic control devices...
Until now we have always talked about not
more than 5%.

crossing with 6 months notice. Mr. Philips
says this is standard in most contracts

this option.

a goal of putting signals at all crossings. The
railroad company has requested the city to construct
a gate to the 'landfill site on the west side of the
tracks as opposed to the east side for controlled
