Grade Crossing Elimination To Be Relief Move
Washington advances a half billion dollar grade crossing elimination program as a key relief effort. Plans for removing 5 000 crossings are detailed by railroad engineers and funds may come from a four billion dollar appropriation. Officials say it would create quick work and could be self liquidating. Ickes notes potential motorist and railroad taxation to repay costs. A nationwide road modernization plan including a north south and east west super high speed highway to Boston is also under study with an estimated cost of 140 million.
