Improvements set for deadly Xing where 15YO girl died

Reeling from the devastation of Tuesday’s car-train collision that killed a 15-year-old girl, Jesse Weeks explored improvements planned for that crossing.

What the Coeur d’Alene man, whose two brothers attend Post Falls schools, learned from the Idaho Transportation Department is that $900,000 worth of signals and crossing arms are planned to be installed this summer.

“In my opinion, summer is not soon enough,” he said. “There’s been too many close calls there.”

There are only stop and railroad crossing signs at the intersection now/ Brian Walker & Ryan Collingwood , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
