During the Workshop session, the Mayor thought it would be beneficial to provide the Board with an opportunity to discuss any matters of interest. If you have any particular topics of interest that you'd like others to be prepared to discuss, please provide that information to me and we'll distribute to the Board. As discussed at the last meeting, Resolution 2015-06-01 provides for amendments to the Business Enhancement Program intended to streamline administration of the program. Supplemental materials are included in the packet regarding the zoning code amendments proposed by the Planning Commission. A draft ordinance is provided for your consideration. However, please note that this is a draft pending conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing on May 25th During the May 18th Board meeting following the Housing Needs and Development Study presentation, Trustee Meyring proposed establishing a Housing Task Force to assist the Board with moving this dialogue forward. I would expect that the work of this group would be relatively short in duration (6-9 months), thus I would suggest that it be established as an ad hoc committee and that the Board make appointments to fill 5 positions. I am seeking further Board discussion and direction so that we can get this put together and begin that work. As you may know, the Federal Railroad Administration is soliciting public comment on whether the agency should change the federal regulations on the use of train horns at public grade crossings. I would suggest that we provide comments given the impact of the current regulations at the Eisenhower Avenue crossing. I believe some additional flexibility in application of the standards to crossings such as this are merited. Our challenge with this crossing is the close proximity of Leonard and Railroad Avenues to the crossing. As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional information.

Finance CIRSA has asked us to speak to other small communities at an upcoming meeting regarding how we've implemented financial controls in a small community. During our recent Loss Control Audit, our auditor remarked at our successes while she continues to hear from so many other small communities that these are unachievable goals for smaller organizations.

The PC also held a public hearing on amendments to the Municipal Code parking regulations. The PC has been working on the off-street parking puzzle and evaluating parking strategies and possible amendments to these regulations for several months.

This opportunity will help launch Fraser into a new chapter of redevelopment and reinvestment with new tools and resources to improve transportation, circulation and connectivity and to build a better community and create a more livable place. Police Happy to note it's been relatively quiet in the Fraser Valley. We are coordinating with Grand County Emergency Management and other first responders and Public Works in advance of our annual high water incident. A lot of snow remains up in the high country. Public Works WATER— The transite waterline serving the Byers Peak Property and Gold Medal Ranch services broke last Friday (5/20) and staff was able to schedule and stage the repair for Monday May 23/24. The line has since been repaired with a new blow- off installed at the end of the line for water quality maintenance. ➢ Water operators have been working an isolation plan to the waterline that is under the UPRR at Eisenhower Dr. This line received a `band-aid' repair in February 2016 and during this work we were not able to fully close off this line to make a full repair. Staff is working alongside our consulting engineers (Bowman) on a design for an alternative supply route to the line under the RR tracks. Staff will be bringing a proposal to the Board in the near future for this work seeking approval to move forward with this alternative pipe alignment project. SANITARY SEWER— The project contractor for the sewer I&I rehabilitation and replacement project started on the cleanup punch lists for what final repairs, grading, revegetation and site restoration activities need to be addressed. Weather and wet ground conditions have delayed these efforts; however, the contractor has begun the work as of May 24'". Again, this includes the alleys that were affected over the winter months. ➢ Staff is preparing for our annual line cleaning and video maintenance which will be taking place in late June/July. ➢ During spring I&I investigatory work, staff identified a broken service line connection in the new infrastructure at Elk Creek and worked with the contractor to have the repairs completed. STREETS— The street sweeper is back up and running and cleaning streets. ➢ Sample LED fixtures have been installed to assist with in identifying which wattage and brightness to use for the bulb conversion/retrofit to LED. ➢ Staff is preparing to initiate concrete repairs, mainly valley pans.

Trotter, AICP, Town Planner DATE: May 25, 2016 SUBJECT: Zoning code amendments MATTER BEFORE BOARD: We have scheduled a public hearing on zoning code amendments specifically relating to parking regulations. The Planning Commission has discussed the proposed amendments at several meetings and recommended approval of said amendments at a public hearing on May 25, 2016. ACTION REQUESTED/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Approval of the proposed amendments to the zoning code (parking regulations) via ordinance. BACKGROUND: THE OFF-STREET PARKING PUZZLE: Below is information is taken from research conducted by staff: Much recent parking literature argues that excessive parking supply discourages alternative modes of transportation, reduces density, increases the cost of development, creates an uninviting built environment, and degrades the natural environment (e.g., by increasing polluted stormwater runoff into area water bodies, increasing air pollution by inducing automobile travel, and contributing to urban heat islands). While benefits may accrue from minimizing the amount of off-street parking, downsizing minimum parking requirements may be a tricky proposition in many communities due to the feared impact on other community objectives. However, there is also good news. There are many reasons to change current policies and implement more efficient parking management. Current policies are wasteful and contradict most other planning objectives. They assume that land is cheap, that everybody drives everywhere, and that automobile dependency and sprawl are acceptable. As soon as we question any of those assumptions, for example, if land is costly and we want to deliver affordable housing, or a city is becoming more multimodal with a growing portion of trips by walking, cycling, and public transportation, then parking policy and planning reforms become justified. Every so often you will probably encounter an opportunity to introduce political change. For example, your community may want to encourage more affordable housing and infill development, and you can point out that parking policy changes are needed to help achieve those objectives. Similarly, your community might consider traffic and parking congestion major problems, which also justify parking policy reforms and development of a parking management Town of Fraser PO Box 370, Fraser, CO 80442 office 970-726-5491 fax 970-726-5518 www.frasercolorado.com plan, or even better, a transportation management plan that includes parking management. Parking management and commute trip reduction can also be part of your community's plans to reduce climate change emissions and sprawl. In other words, parking management is an effective solution to many different problems (or, described differently, it helps achieve many different planning objectives). There are many problems associated with current parking ratios and the subsequent oversupply of parking. These traditional approaches to regulating parking lead to vast expanses of parking which in turn separate land uses, reduce densities, impair walkability, and create obstacles to providing transit and pedestrian friendly communities. From a developer's perspective, inflated parking ratios reduce the development potential of a site, requiring more land to be used for parking as opposed to a higher and better use, and adding significant costs to development projects. In fact, some development projects may not be financially feasible under current local parking policies. Addressing these concerns requires local jurisdictions and developers to work together to revise parking policies to more appropriately manage parking. Revised parking policies should accommodate necessary parking, while at the same time encouraging attractive, pedestrian and transit friendly urban design, promoting alternative modes of transportation, preserving open space, and improving air and water quality. Parking maximums are intended to ensure that there is not an excess supply of parking. One way in which local ordinances help enable shared parking is to allow for off-street parking facilities to be located off-site of the lot on which the structure or use being served is located. Such ordinances usually specify a maximum distance from the structure or use within which the off-site parking facility must be located. Since the advent of the personal automobile, the American landscape has become predominantly a habitat for cars, with streets, parking facilities, and other auto -oriented uses dominating the built environment. Parking facilities in particular have become an omnipresent feature of the American landscape, consuming land and resources, inhibiting the functioning of natural systems, creating dead gaps in what otherwise might be vibrant commercial areas, and creating conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians and bicyclists. This adverse impact on the walkability of communities is a particular challenge to creating lively, mixed use places with a unique sense of identity—attractive places where people want to linger, to gather, and to return over and over. It is precisely these kinds of walkable places that are essential to the success of smart growth development strategies. Overall, the buffer between the parking lot and the street should be no less than 15 feet wide— this liberal width should help to encourage the placement of parking lots behind buildings versus along the street. Landscaping not only provides shade on hot days, absorbs carbon dioxide, and reduces pollutants emitted by vehicles as they sit in the sun, but also breaks up the visual impact, making the parking lot feel smaller and less overwhelming. Town of Fraser PO Box 370, Fraser, CO 80442 office 970-726-5491 fax 970-726-5518 www.frasercolorado.com The paving over of the American landscape is clearly unsustainable, consuming land and resources and creating huge volumes of stormwater runoff that tax the capacity of sewer systems and degrade water quality in streams and other waterways. Local jurisdictions and developers alike should determine ways in which they can provide the necessary parking, while minimizing the amount of acreage that is converted to parking. Local planners need to take a closer look at the regulations that govern parking design to enable and encourage innovation. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission (PC) had "review the parking regulations" on their 2016 work plan. The PC has taken a closer look at our regulations and many other communities both within state and out of state. The PC has studied parking management and strategies and watched webinars on the same. The PC has overhauled the Fraser parking regulations to enable and encourage innovation in an attempt to improve the quality and character of the community and build a healthier economy. Thank you to the PC for all their hard work and effort! Staff is recommending approval of the ordinance to incorporate the said changes into the Fraser Municipal Code.

Purpose. The purpose of these regulations is to: • allow flexibility in addressing vehicle parking, loading, transportation and access demands of various land uses in different areas of Town; • provide enough on-site parking to accommodate the majority of traffic generated by the range of uses which might locate at a site over time; • present a menu of strategies to solve parking challenges rather than strict parking space requirements; • maintain and enhance a safe and efficient transportation system that is consistent with environmental goals and clean air; • ensure that off-street parking, loading, and access demands associated with new development will be met without adversely affecting other nearby land uses and surrounding neighborhoods. 2. All uses in the Town shall be required to provide for minimum off-street parking as set forth in this Chapter. 3. Parking management is often the best solution to parking challenges. Listed below are several policies and programs that may result in a reduction in the number of parking spaces required and a more efficient use of parking resources. The Town may consider such proposals on a case-by-case basis. 4. For parking lots with less than ten (10) parking spaces, all spaces shall measure at least ten (10) feet by twenty (20) feet except for required handicapped spaces. 5. For parking lots with ten (10) or more parking spaces, eighty percent (80%) of the required spaces shall be at least ten (10) feet by twenty (20) feet, while the remainder of the spaces may be reduced in size to nine (9) feet by eighteen (18) feet, except for required handicapped spaces. 6. All parking lots shall be provided with proper ingress and egress. All entrance and parking lot drive lanes shall be a minimum of twenty-four (24) feet wide allowing for two-way traffic. Where angle parking and/or one-way drive lanes are proposed, the Town may consider such proposals on a case-by-case basis. 7. All parking areas and driveways shall be paved with either asphalt, concrete or other acceptable hard surface material meeting the Design Criteria and Construction Standards (Chapter 14, Fraser Municipal Code.) except for contingency -based overflow parking discussed below. 8. All improvements made to the parking lot, driveways and access roads, including signage, lighting, striping and all other improvements, shall be maintained in a safe manner. Maintenance shall include repairing of potholes and resurfacing and restriping the parking lot, and the removal of snow to keep in compliance with Town standards. 9. Number of spaces required shall be in accordance with the table below. Partial spaces shall be rounded up to the next whole number of required parking spaces. See Section 16-1-40 for definition of single and multi -family dwelling unit and accessory dwelling unit. Use No. Spaces Required Single Family Dwelling [defined in Code Sec 16-1-40] & 2.0 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) 1.0 Studio, single and/or multifamily (1 bedroom) Single and/or multifamily (2 bedrooms) 1.5 Single and/or multifamily (3 bedrooms) 2.0 uditoriums, churches, stadiums, theatres or other places of assembly With fixed seats, per 8 seats 1.0 Without fixed seats, per 100 square feet 1.0 Offices, per 2-00 400 square feet gross floor area 1.0 Business complexes: groceries, restaurants, eating and drinking establishments and retail sales, per 2-30- 400 square feet gross 1.0 floor area Groceries, restaurants, eating and drinking places, per 2-00 400 1.0 square feet Retail sales establishments, including dry goods, etc., per 2-00 1.0 00 square feet gross floor area Schools: Elementary, junior high Per classroom 1.0 Per 300 square feet of office 1.0 Plus, as required for places of assembly. Mixed uses incorporating any of the above categories shall be computed individually and then all cateanries totaled for the total parking requirements. 10. For uses not listed or not fitting within one (1) of the above categories, the Town Planner shall determine the off-street parking subject to approval by the Planning Commission. The Town Planner is authorized to apply a minimum off-street parking space requirement for the listed use that is deemed most similar to the proposed use. The Town Planner is authorized to establish the minimum off- street parking requirement by reference to standard parking resources published by American Planning Association, based on local or national best practices or based on a parking demand study prepared by a traffic engineer. 11. In the Business Zone and in any Mixed Use and Commercial Planning Areas with a Planned Development District (PDD), the utilization of joint parking facilities to minimize the proliferation of parking areas is encouraged. The Town may reduce the number of required spaces by up to twenty percent (20%) when parking is provided in common for more than one (1) business. 12. The Town may allow on -street parking to satisfy the minimum off-street parking requirements in the older sections of the Business District (herein defined as the entire Business District adjacent to the US 40 Corridor from County Road 8 to County Road 804, including Park Avenue, Eastom Avenue, N. Doc Susie Avenue, Fraser Avenue, Eisenhower Drive, Byers Avenue, Railroad Avenue and Mill Avenue) in an effort to encourage infill and redevelopment opportunities. The Town may allow on -street parking to satisfy the minimum off-street parking requirements in a PDD in an effort to allow greater flexibility and innovations in development and site design. A detailed parking plan shall accompany the development permit application, and the parking shall be allocated and located in proportion and in relation to the proposed land use. Additional right-of-way width may be required by the Town to accommodate for on -street parking. 13. The Town may allow off-site parking within 500 feet of the front entry to the building to satisfy the minimum off-street parking requirements. A written agreement governing each affected property and providing for such off-site parking shall be approved by the Town of Fraser and recorded with the Grand County Clerk and Recorder. 14. The Town may require the applicant to develop a contingency -based overflow parking plan to manage and accommodate guests and occasional peak parking demands. Overflow parking areas are not required to be hard surfaced. Alternate surfacing materials may be considered. 15. The Town may allow a reduction in commercial off-street parking requirements based on proximity to public transportation. The maximum reduction in the number of parking spaces shall be no more than 10% percent of the total required spaces. Proximity to public transportation is defined as being within 250 feet of a transportation corridor (herein defined as the US 40 Corridor). 16. Convenient, accessible and functional snow storage areas shall be provided for parking areas equivalent to 33% of the total drive and parking areas. 17. Handicapped parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with federal and state law. 18. Off-street loading areas shall be required so that vehicles using such loading areas can maneuver safely and conveniently to and from a public right-of-way and complete loading and unloading operations without obstructing or interfering with any public or private right-of-way, parking space or driveway. These regulations shall apply to those nonresidential land uses which require that goods, merchandise or equipment be routinely delivered to or shipped from that land use. Required off- street loading spaces shall be provided on the same lot as the use served and shall be surfaced and maintained in a manner consistent with the off-street parking areas for the same use. Off-street loading spaces shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet wide and thirty-five (35) feet in length and shall be designated solely for loading purposes. 19. All parking lots and commercial storage and service areas shall be screened from adjacent residential property by the use of landscaping, berming, fences or a combination of landscaping and other structural features approved by the Planning Commission. 20. Parking lot perimeter landscaping shall be required for parking lots with ten (10) or more parking spaces to minimize the visual impact of large paved surfaces. Pedestrian access to sidewalks and buildings should be considered in the design of the landscaped areas and islands. Parking areas adjoining a street shall provide a landscape buffer between the street right-of-way and parking area. Screening materials may include a combination of plant materials (trees, shrubs and ground cover), earth berms, walls or fences, raised planters or other screening devices which meet the intent of this requirement. Parking lot perimeter landscaping plant materials shall include one (1) tree and two (2) shrubs for every twenty (20) feet of parking lot frontage. Trees and shrubs need not be planted in a linear, spaced manner, but may be grouped together where appropriate. 21. Parking lot interior landscaping shall be required for parking lots with twenty (20) or more parking spaces to minimize the visual impact of large paved surfaces. The intent of the landscaped islands is to provide a measure of aesthetics to the parking areas without seriously inhibiting snow plowing and storage. One (1) tree and two (2) shrubs shall be provided for every ten (10) parking spaces or fraction thereof. CML . ME W-11i The VW- of C.Io do's Cities and Towns MEMORANDUM DATE: May 2, 2016 TO: Sam Mamet, Executive Director FROM: Mark Radtke, Municipal Research Analyst RE: Federal train horn rule Municipalities in Colorado are taking advantage of the reopening of a Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) rule governing the sounding of locomotive horns at grade crossings to submit comments aimed at improving the train horn situation. The FRA is inviting comments on 49 CFT Parts 222 and 229 - Use of Locomotive Horns at Highway -Rail Grade Crossings, often referred to as the "train horn rule." Comments may be sent to Ron Ries, Federal Railroad Administration, Office of Railroad Safety, Mail Stop 25, West Building 3rd Floor, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. Deadline for submitting comments to the FRA is July 5, 2016. The decade old train horn rule set a high decibel level and increased length of time locomotive horns must be sounded when approaching an at -grade crossing. The results have been noise complaints from businesses and residents near the rail line, a negative impact on downtown redevelopment projects, and often unworkable mitigation requirements to create "quiet zones" that halt horn usage. Establishing quiet zones provides a potential path to silencing the locomotive horns, but creation of quiet zones is expensive and the investment is not always rewarded with FRA approval. In addition they aren't practical in many situations such as crossings of rail lines that closely parallel another roadway. An overall theme for a change in the train horn rule coming from Colorado municipalities can be summed up in one word: flexibility. Some comments we are hearing from Colorado cities and towns: • Allow discretion for train engineers to determine whether a horn is necessary in populated areas during overnight hours. This was common practice prior to enacting the current rule • Include a cost/benefit analysis to decide what elements of the current quiet zone requirements are necessary for a safe crossing. The benefit in terms of accident reduction potential should be considered in comparison to the cost of crossing improvements. • Streamline the quiet zone approval process. Limited FRA resources result in lengthy timelines for approval of quiet zone applications. Emerging technologies can save staff time and travel through the use of means such as remote video inspections. • Allow different requirements for quiet zones based on different conditions. Slow urban speeds, right-of-way sight lines, and vehicular volumes are all factors that should be considered in determining what elements are needed to establish a quiet zone. • Modify the risk index calculations to properly account for injury severity related to train speed. The current methodology only considers one level of injury severity for all injury crashes, failing to recognize the variance of injury related to train speed. Request for Comments While FRA solicits discussion and comments on all of 49 CFR part 222, we particularly encourage comments on the following questions: How can FRA decrease the barriers local communities encounter when establishing a quiet zone? Should 49 CFR part 222 allow greater variances in highway -rail configurations when determining safety calculations for local communities establishing quiet zones? If so, what variances would be appropriate? Should FRA amend Appendix A to 49 CFR part 222 to include common alternative grade crossing safety measures and emerging grade crossing safety technologies? If so, what measures and technologies would be appropriate? What further actions can FRA take to mitigate train horn noise impacts for local communities while not decreasing safety for motorists and pedestrians? How can FRA change how train horns are sounded at grade crossings while not decreasing safety for motorists and pedestrians? Should railroads be required to file an official opinion of support or opposition to the establishment of a new quiet zone? Should train speed be a factor that is considered when establishing a new quiet zone? Should there be an online process for submitting quiet zone notices, applications, and required paperwork, in whole or in part? Should FRA be a required recipient of the Notice of Intent to establish a quiet zone? Should FRA provide additional guidance on how to measure the length of a quiet zone? If so, what guidance would be helpful? Should FRA develop a process to address modifications to grade crossings within an existing quiet zone? If so, please describe what process would be helpful? Should FRA require diagnostic reviews for all grade crossings within proposed quiet zones instead of requiring them only for pedestrian (pathway) grade crossings and private grade crossings that allow access to the public or which provide access to active industrial or commercial sites? How should FRA address safety measures that no longer meet the requirements for SSMs or ASMs? TOWN OF TIMNATH, COLORADO RESOLUTION NO. 35, SERIES 2016 A RESOLUTION REGARDING FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Timnath ("Town') pursuant to C.R.S. § 31-15- 103, has the power to pass resolutions; and WHEREAS, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is opening its rules regarding train horn noise; and WHEREAS, the FRA is requesting public comment on the train horn rules and the establishment of quiet zones; and WHEREAS, the use of train horns directly impacts the quality of life in a community and the Town Administration has received numerous complaints regarding train horn usage. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TIMNATH, COLORADO as follows: Section 1. Changes to FRA Rules. The Town of Timnath requests the following changes to FRA Rules and/or processes: a. The FRA should allow train engineers greater discretion when blowing their horns at night. Allowing them to choose not to blow horns between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. will minimize the disruption to neighboring homes. b. FRA rules should allow greater flexibility in the design of quiet zones to fit specific community and site circumstances. The crossing geometry, train speed, pedestrian and vehicular volumes as well as community values should be considered on a case by case basis versus a one -size fits all quiet zone design. c. FRA rules should provide certainty that quiet zones will be recognized for their life when communities spend large amounts of money to create them. Instead, the current rules do not guarantee that after these investments the quiet zone status will be granted indefinitely. d. The Federal Government should, in concert with other departments such as Housing and Urban Development, establish a dedicated funding source to assist communities with the costs of quiet zone implementation. e. Train speed should be considered when establishing quiet zones. When trains are at low speed, the duration of the mandatory train horn blast that must continue to sound until the lead locomotive occupies the grade crossing is extremely long. f. The FRA should review their quiet zone application procedures to capture common and new technology such as on-line applications. In addition the use of Skype or other methods of on-line communication would greatly improve timeliness rather than time consuming on-site visits. g. The FRA should establish a grant program that provides local entities financial assistance with testing innovative safety measures rather than the entire research burden being placed on the local governments.

The FRA's regulations generally require locomotive horn use at crossings except within authorized quiet zones. The agency is seeking comments from the rail industry and others as part of a continual review of existing rules, according to the proposed rulemaking published today in the Federal Register. Regulators are seeking input from the rail industry and state and local officials to determine whether there are any "regulatory burdens" associated with the rule while still maintaining the highest safety levels. The FRA will accept comments through July 5. FRA regulations currently require that engineers sound the locomotive horns while approaching public grade crossings until the lead locomotive fully occupies the crossing. In general, the locomotive engineers must begin to sound the horn for a minimum of 15 seconds and a maximum of 20 seconds ahead of the crossing. Engineers also must sound the horn in a standardized pattern of two long, one short and one long blast, and the horn must continue to sound until the lead locomotive or train car occupies the crossing.

The FRA's regulations generally require locomotive horn use at crossings except within authorized quiet zones. The agency is seeking comments from the rail industry and others as part of a continual review of existing rules, according to the proposed rulemaking published today in the Federal Register. Regulators are seeking input from the rail industry and state and local officials to determine whether there are any "regulatory burdens" associated with the rule while still maintaining the highest safety levels. The FRA will accept comments through July 5. FRA regulations currently require that engineers sound the locomotive horns while approaching public grade crossings until the lead locomotive fully occupies the crossing. In general, the locomotive engineers must begin to sound the horn for a minimum of 15 seconds and a maximum of 20 seconds ahead of the crossing. Engineers also must sound the horn in a standardized pattern of two long, one short and one long blast, and the horn must continue to sound until the lead locomotive or train car occupies the crossing. The FRA published its final rule on train horns in 2005, and hasn't substantially revised it since 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ron Ries, Staff Director, Highway -Rail Crossing and Trespasser Programs Division, U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration, Office of Railroad Safety, Mail Stop 25, West Building 3rd Floor, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: 202-493-6299; Kathryn Gresham, Trial Attorney, U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration, Office of Chief Counsel, Mail Stop 10, West Building 3rd Floor, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: 202-493-6052); or Brian Roberts, Trial Attorney, U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration, Office of Chief Counsel, Mail Stop 10, West Building 3rd Floor, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: 202-493-6052). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Purpose of Retrospective Review Under its general statutory rulemaking authority, FRA promulgates and enforces rules as part of a comprehensive regulatory program to address all areas of railroad safety. See 49 U.S.C. 20103 and 49 https://www. federalregister.gov/articles/2016/03/07/2016-04831 /use -of -locomotive -horns-... 3/14/2016 Federal Register I Use of Locomotive Horns at Public Highway -Rail Grade Crossings; No... Page 3 of 7 CFR 1.89. To provide for safety at public highway -rail grade crossings (public grade crossings), FRA has issued specific regulations in 49 CFR part 222 that generally require locomotive horn use at such crossings except within authorized quiet zones established under the regulations. Congress mandated these regulations in Public Law 103-440, codified as Section 20153 to title 49 of the United States Code. This statute required the Secretary of Transportation (whose authority in this area had been delegated to the Federal Railroad Administrator) to issue regulations on the use of locomotive horns at public grade crossings, but gave the Secretary the authority to make reasonable exceptions. Consistent with Executive Order 13563 ("Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review") and Executive Order 13610 ("Identifying and Reducing Regulatory Burdens"), FRA continually reviews its regulations and revises them as needed to: (1) Ensure the regulatory burden is not excessive; (2) clarify the application of existing requirements and remove requirements that are no longer necessary; and (3) keep pace with emerging technology, changing operational realities, and safety concerns. Therefore, through this Notice of Safety Inquiry, FRA seeks to gather input from the rail industry and State and local authorities on any regulatory burdens associated with 49 CFR part 222, while still maintaining the highest level of safety at our Nation's public grade crossings. Executive Order 13563 requires agencies to periodically conduct retrospective analyses of their existing rules to identify requirements that may be outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome and to modify, streamline, expand, or repeal any problematic regulatory provisions identified during the review. Additionally, Executive Order 13610 requires agencies to take continuing steps to reassess regulatory requirements, and where appropriate, to streamline, improve, or eliminate those requirements. In particular, Executive Order 13610 emphasizes that agencies should prioritize "initiatives that will produce significant quantifiable monetary savings or significant quantifiable reductions in paperwork burdens." Therefore, FRA is specifically interested in receiving comments on how the agency can reduce the regulatory burden on the regulated community and the public in a way that would provide monetary savings or reduce paperwork burdens without negatively impacting safety at public grade crossings. Rulemaking Background on 49 CFR Part 222 ("Use of Locomotive Horns at Public Highway -Rail Grade Crossings") FRA began the rulemaking process for 49 CFR part 222 on January 13, 2000, when it published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register addressing the use of locomotive horns at public grade crossings. The rulemaking was mandated by 49 U.S.C. 20153, which required the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations that required the use of locomotive horns at public grade crossings, but gave the Secretary the authority to make reasonable exceptions. FRA received approximately 3,000 comments in response to the NPRM. https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/03/07/2016-04831 /use -of -locomotive -horns-... 3/14/2016 Federal Register I Use of Locomotive Horns at Public Highway -Rail Grade Crossings; No... Page 4 of 7 Due to the substantial and wide-ranging public interest in the NPRM, FRA conducted a series of twelve public hearings throughout the United States. More than 350 people testified at these hearings. On December 18, 2003, FRA published an Interim Final Rule in the Federal Register (68 FR 70586). FRA could have proceeded directly to the final rule stage of the rulemaking. However, FRA chose to issue an interim final rule instead in order to give the public an opportunity to comment on changes that had been made to the rule since the NPRM. In addition, FRA held another public hearing in Washington, DC on February 4, 2004. By the close of the extended comment period, over 1,400 comments had been filed with the agency regarding the Interim Final Rule. FRA then published a final rule in the Federal Register on April 27, 2005 (70 FR 21844). After the final rule was published, FRA received several petitions for reconsideration and associated letters in support of the petitions. In addition, the Association of American Railroads (AAR) submitted a petition for an Emergency Order. On August 17, 2006, FRA published amendments in the Federal Register which amended and clarified the final rule in response to the petitions for reconsideration (71 FR 47614). FRA denied AAR's petition for an Emergency Order. Since 2006, FRA has not issued any substantive revisions to 49 CFR Fart 222. Therefore, FRA is soliciting public comments on any needed revisions to the regulations as part of its retrospective review. Overview of 49 CFR Part 222 FRA regulations require that engineers sound their locomotive horns while approaching public grade crossings until the lead locomotive fully occupies the crossing. See 49 CFR 222.21(a). In general, the regulations require locomotive engineers to begin to sound the train horn for a minimum of 15 seconds, and a maximum of 20 seconds, in advance of public grade crossings. See 49 CFR 222.21(b) (2). Engineers must also sound the train horn in a standardized pattern of two long, one short and one long blast and the horn must continue to sound until the lead locomotive or train car occupies the grade crossing. See 49 CFR 222.21(a). Additionally, the minimum sound level for the locomotive horn is 96 dB(A), while the maximum sound level is 110 dB(A). See 49 CFR 229.129(a). Research and years of experience show that the use of train horns, flashing lights, and gates—in concert—at grade crossings are extremely effective in preventing accidents and their resulting injuries and deaths. The use of the locomotive horn while trains are approaching public highway -rail grade crossings provides an important safety warning to pedestrians and motorists who are on or approaching the crossings. FRA conducted a nationwide study that showed there is a 66.8 -percent increase in crossing collisions at crossings equipped with automatic warning devices consisting of flashing lights and gates when train horns are not routinely sounded. https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/03/07/2016-04831 /use -of -locomotive -horns-... 3/14/2016 Federal Register I Use of Locomotive Horns at Public Highway -Rail Grade Crossings; No... Page 5 of 7 Establishing a Quiet Zone FRA regulations authorize only public authorities to establish quiet zones. See 49 CFR 222.37(a). At a minimum, new quiet zones must be at least one-half mile in length and contain at least one public grade crossing (i.e., a location where a public highway, road, or street crosses one or more railroad tracks at grade). See definition of "quiet zone" in 49 CFR 222.9 and 222.35(a). Every public grade crossing in a quiet zone must be equipped at a minimum with active grade crossing warning devices consisting of flashing lights and gates. See 49 CFR 222.35(b). If a public authority wants to establish a new quiet zone that will include a pedestrian crossing, a private highway -rail grade crossing that allows access to the public, or a private highway -rail grade crossing that provides access to an active industrial or commercial site, a diagnostic team (made up of representatives from the railroad, relevant State agencies, the public authority, and FRA, if possible) must evaluate the pedestrian or private highway -rail grade crossing and the crossing must be equipped or treated in accordance with the diagnostic team recommendations. See 49 CFR 222.25 (b)(1) and 222.27(b). In addition, FRA has interpreted 49 CFR part 222 to require that any private highway -rail grade crossing or pedestrian crossing in a quiet zone must be located either between the public grade crossings that serve as quiet zone endpoints or within one-quarter mile of the quiet zone endpoints. Public authorities can establish quiet zones through either the public authority designation process or the public authority application process to FRA. See 49 CFR 222.39(a) and (b), respectively. Because the absence of routine horn sounding at public grade crossings increases the risk of a crossing collision, in most circumstances the regulations require public authorities seeking to establish quiet zones to mitigate additional risk. Public authorities that wish to reduce existing risk levels within the proposed quiet zone can implement certain specified pre -approved crossing improvements (i.e., Supplementary Safety Measures (SSMs)) to reduce the proposed quiet zone's risk level to an acceptable level. These improvements include: Roadway medians or channelization devices to discourage motorists from driving around a lowered crossing gate; a four -quadrant gate system to block all lanes of highway traffic; converting a two-way street into a one-way street and installing crossing gates, and permanent or temporary (nighttime) closure of the crossing to highway traffic. See Appendix A to 49 CFR part 222. Public authorities that rely exclusively on SSMs to reduce existing risk levels within the proposed quiet zone to an acceptable level can establish quiet zones through the public authority designation process (i.e., without specific FRA approval). See 49 CFR 222.39(a). However, public authorities that want to implement Alternative Safety Measures (ASMs), i.e., modified SSMs or certain specified non -engineering crossing improvements, within a proposed quiet zone must apply for FRA approval of the effectiveness rate (i.e., the amount of risk that is mitigated by deployment of a safety measure at a crossing) that will be assigned to the crossing improvement(s). https:llwww.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/03/07/2016-04831 /use -of -locomotive -horns-... 3/14/2016 Federal Register I Use of Locomotive Horns at Public Highway -Rail Grade Crossings; No... Page 6 of 7 As an alternative, communities may also choose to silence routine locomotive horn sounding through the installation of wayside horns at public grade crossings. Wayside horns are train -activated stationary acoustic devices at grade crossings that are directed at highway traffic as a one-for-one substitute for train horns. During the new quiet zone establishment process, the regulations require public authorities to provide a Notice of Intent to the railroads that operate within the quiet zone, and to the State agencies responsible for highway and grade crossing safety, to solicit comments on the proposed quiet zone. See 49 CFR 222.43(a). However, a quiet zone may not take effect until all the necessary safety measures have been installed and are operational. See 49 CFR 222.43(d)(2). The regulations also require the public authority to provide a Notice of Quiet Zone Establishment to all affected parties before the quiet zone is established, including all railroads that operate over crossings within the proposed quiet zone, State agencies responsible for highway and grade crossing safety, and FRA. See 49 CFR 222.43(a)(3). The Notice of Quiet Zone Establishment must provide the date when the quiet zone will take effect, which cannot be less than 21 days after the date on which the Notice of Quiet Zone Establishment is mailed. See 49 CFR 222.43(d). Request for Comments While FRA solicits discussion and comments on all of 49 CFR part 222, we particularly encourage comments on the following questions: • How can FRA decrease the barriers local communities encounter when establishing a quiet zone? • Should 49 CFR part 222 allow greater variances in highway -rail configurations when determining safety calculations for local communities establishing quiet zones? If so, what variances would be appropriate? • Should FRA amend Appendix A to 49 CFR part 222 to include common alternative grade crossing safety measures and emerging grade crossing safety technologies? If so, what measures and technologies would be appropriate? • What further actions can FRA take to mitigate train horn noise impacts for local communities while not decreasing safety for motorists and pedestrians? • How can FRA change how train horns are sounded at grade crossings while not decreasing safety for motorists and pedestrians? • Should railroads be required to file an official opinion of support or opposition to the establishment of a new quiet zone? • Should train speed be a factor that is considered when establishing a new quiet zone? • Should there be an online process for submitting quiet zone notices, applications, and required paperwork, in whole or in part? • Should FRA be a required recipient of the Notice of Intent to establish a quiet zone? https:llwww.fedemlregister.gov/articles/2016/03/07/2016-04831 /use -of -locomotive -horns-... 3/14/2016 Federal Register I Use of Locomotive Horns at Public Highway -Rail Grade Crossings; No... Page 7 of 7 • Should FRA provide additional guidance on how to measure the length of a quiet zone? If so, what guidance would be helpful? • Should FRA develop a process to address modifications to grade crossings within an existing quiet zone? If so, please describe what process would be helpful? • Should FRA require diagnostic reviews for all grade crossings within proposed quiet zones instead of requiring them only for pedestrian (pathway) grade crossings and private grade crossings that allow access to the public or which provide access to active industrial or commercial sites? • How should FRA address safety measures that no longer meet the requirements for SSMs or ASMs?
