To: Brian McDougal, City Manager
From: Armando Gutierrez, Jr., P.E., Director of Public Works
RE: Presentation Request by Jason Field, P.E. of Moffatt&Nichol
Regarding KCSRR Corridor Safety Proposal
Recommendation
Presentation Only, no action required
Background:
The Kansas City Southern Railroad intends to expand their railroad capacity at the Port of Port Arthur by
adding five additional railroad tracks. The expansion would cause more and longer traffic stops and
waiting time at the railroad crossings. KCSRR has retained Moffatt & Nichol Engineers to design their
railway expansion and the firm has assembled a proposal to the City called the KCSRR Corridor Safety
Proposal to provide an alternative(s) to reroute traffic. This proposal consists of (but not limited to)
streets crossing closures, safety feature improvements at remaining crossings, traffic signal upgrades and
new/improved pedestrian crossings. KCSRR and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will
provide funding to help defray the cost of proposed changes and upgrades associated with the proposal.
KCSRR wants to return at the following meeting for an action item from the city for agreement with the
proposal.

Company: Moffatt&Nichol Engineers of Raleigh,North Carolina
