VI. RCES FINDINGS

RCES staff finds that:

· The West Doran Street highway-rail at-grade crossing presents a significant hazard to motor vehicles and drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, Metrolink inter-city rail passengers and operations, Amtrak commuter rail passengers and operations, UPRR freight crews and trains that operate in this corridor, and to people who commute, live, and work in the surrounding area.

· The West Doran Street at-grade crossing is unnecessary.

· Motor vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic can access the businesses and industries located on West Doran Street and North San Fernando Road via the Brazil at-grade crossing and the Colorado Street grade-separated crossing.
