Deskripsyon

Diagonal railroad tracks dangerous to cross for bicyclists.
To cross safely a cyclist must swerve dangerously into heavy traffic on state route 372 to approach track at 90 angle.
Designs for paved safe crossings to the side are available and should be constructed before serious injury and potential law suits develop.

Another perfect example of Town, State and SCF not listening to concerned cyclists. The situation gets even stickier when you add a reluctant railroad to the mix. As Mark stated previously, acceptable solutions exist; what does not exist is willpower to make Plainville bicycle friendly. Alas, the town is well named. Better plain than outstanding!

Very well stated Jim. Your words ring true.

No improvement made at diagonal rail crossing to date.
I hear the train as I write.

Thanks again, Mark. Maybe you and I are the only ones who look at this post. If anyone else is doing so, I challenge them to respond, either to the post or to me. If you are from the Town, CRCOG, or CTDOT, you probably can track down my contact info.

Nothing has changed. Still a dangerous crossing.
It appears that a serious accident must occur before any improvement occurs.

This is getting as discouraging as Issue #154816, also here in Plainville, and also along CT372/Connectiuct Bike Route CTB4. Here, too, solutions exist that are relatively simple, but that will take someone on staff of CTDOT, CRCOG, or Town ofPlainville getting seriously interested in considering them here. If anybody on those staffs are reading these comments, perhaps they are as tired of reading them as we are about writing them, or even more so, tired of trying to cycle over this dangerous crossing.

No improvement to date. An accident and lawsuit waiting to happen.

Mark: I learned recently that the Town of Plainville must subscribe to SeeClickFix in order for the Town to follow an issue. To date, they have chosen not to do so, but I have never asked Robert Lee about it directly. Would you like to give it a shot?
I will check with CRCOG to see if they can get on board.

Jim: I just sent over an email to town manager's office re. subscription to above.

No improvement after 5 years of comment on this dangerous R.R. Xing.
