The Town of Windsor is moving forward with improvements to all 13 railroad quiet zone crossings to ensure continued compliance with federal safety standards. The project will address issues identified in a 2024 Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) inspection. These upgrades are essential to maintaining the town's railroad quiet zones, where train horns are silenced, ensuring safety and reducing noise disruptions for residents.
The FRA inspection report identified several compliance issues that must be corrected to maintain the quiet zones. Key upgrades include replacing incorrectly sized signage, adding missing signage and installing detectable warning devices where needed. Pavement markings will also be updated and some medians will be replaced to meet the required height standards for safety.
The 13 crossings slated for improvements are located at Main St. (CO 392), 1st St., 5th St., 6th St., 7th St., 15th St., Walnut St., Garden Dr., Eastman Park Dr., Crossroads Blvd and three crossings along CO 257.
By addressing these issues, Windsor prioritizes compliance and quality of life for its residents. The upgrades will maintain the quiet zones and enhance safety at each crossing. This project reflects Windsor's ongoing commitment to providing safe, well-maintained infrastructure for the community.
