How will safety be assured for pedestrians (including school children), who currently use the bicycle path and rail corridor, and motorists traveling on streets that intersect with the rail line?

The A-train will be built and operated with public safety as its highest priority, both for passengers and for people living near the rail line. The bicycle/pedestrian trail to be rebuilt in the corridor will be designed to prevent incursions into the track through the use of berms, landscaping, fencing, or other measures used in similar rail/trail projects around the country. Motorist safety at roadway-rail crossings will be ensured through the use of appropriate safety devices, which could include gates, median barriers, and other means to prevent auto incursion onto the track. Education about rail crossings will take place in communities along the corridor to make sure community members are aware of their role in safety near rail facilities.
