Summary: LATE FILED. AUGMENTATION REQUIRED. On April 5, 2001, Jesus Escamilla, Senior Utilities Engineer Specialist of the Rail Safety and Carriers Division, met with Cmmr. Brown in Los Angeles. Also present were David Rose, the Mayor of the City of South Pasadena (City) and the Chairperson of the Metro Blue Line Authority, and David Saeta, City Council member for the City. A copy of an article in the Pasadena Star News was used. Escamilla noted that the City had previously agreed to close three crossings but had recently changed its mind, deciding not to close any crossings so that all eleven crossings would remain open. Escamilla referred to the federal and state policy to require the closure of crossings in areas where new crossings were created. Escamilla also noted that other rail transit projects had closed crossings in order to create new ones.
