Timothy Alan Simon is the assigned Commissioner and Victor D. Ryerson is the assigned Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding.
Findings of Fact
1. Written notification of the opportunity to submit nominations for separation or elimination of existing or proposed railroad grade crossings pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 2451 was given to railroads, light rail transit agencies, cities, counties, and others on the service list compiled at the conclusion of the previous Grade Separation Priority List proceeding, and the notice advised them of the deadline to file a nomination for each grade separation project they sought to include in the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 priority list.
2. Staff ranked all nominations accepted in this proceeding in priority, and the methodology utilized by CPSD to rank the nominations in priority order is that which we have adopted in I.07-07-006.
3. The Grade Separation Priority List attached as Appendix B consists of projects that were received for the record, properly supported, and put in priority order by Staff in accordance with our adopted methodology in this proceeding.
Conclusions of Law
1. Appendix B should be adopted as the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Grade Separation Priority List in this proceeding.
2. The effective date of the Interim Order must be no later than June 30, 2008, in order to comply with Streets and Highways Code section 2452.
3. This proceeding should remain open for the purpose of creating the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Grade Separation Priority List.
INTERIM ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1. Pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code section 2452, the Grade Separation Priority List attached as Appendix B is established for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 as the list, in order of priority, of projects which the Commission determines to be most urgently in need of separation or alteration.
2. The Executive Director shall furnish certified copies of this decision to the California Department of Transportation and the California Transportation Commission by not later than July 1, 2008.
3. Investigation 07-07-006 shall remain open until we issue our final decision.
4. Staff shall take all necessary actions to establish the Grade Separation Priority List for Fiscal Year 2009-2010 in a timely manner, as required by law.
This order is effective today.
Dated June 26, 2008, at San Francisco, California.
