Local News SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS AT RAIL CROSSING SHOULD BE CONSIDERED, SAY COUNCILLORS Author of the article: Trevor Terfloth Publishing date: Sep 01, 2022 • 3 days ago • 2 minute read • Join the conversation In the wake of another crash, residents and some councillors are asking that the railway crossing at Colborne Street in Chatham be looked at to see if safety enhancements, such as crossing arms, are warranted. Trevor Terfloth/Postmedia ARTICLE CONTENT After yet another crash at the Colborne Street rail crossing, two Chatham councillors believe the time has come to at least look at safety enhancements.

JAMIL JIVANI SUES BELL MEDIA, ALLEGING HE WAS FIRED FOR NOT FITTING 'BLACK STEREOTYPE' BACK TO VIDEO Jamil Jivani sues Bell Media, alleging he was fired for not fitting 'Black stereotype' X Advertisement On Aug. 27, two people were rushed to hospital after a collision involving a Canadian Pacific train and a vehicle travelling on the street between Princess Street North and Prince Street North. The driver and passenger were taken to hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening, Chatham-Kent police said at the time. In July, a female pedestrian died after being struck by a train in the same area. In May, a cube van was also struck. The driver, a Chatham man, didn’t suffer any serious injuries in the crash and was issued a ticket for disobeying a rail crossing signal. Given the number of incidents this year, Coun. Marjorie Crew believes the crossing needs to be addressed. “It’s an unusual one. It’s kind of on a huge angle,” she said. “I think that it definitely needs a good look.” ADVERTISEMENT 3 Story continues below ARTICLE CONTENT In interviews with Postmedia, several residents said safety improvements should be made, including crossing arms as an added layer of protection. Although the latest crash wasn’t fatal, Crew said it just as easily could have been. She said officials must take a look at the environment around the crossing to see if anything could potentially obstruct a motorist’s visibility, noting the crashes occurred during the daytime. “These unarmed railroad crossings, they’re all over the place,” she said. “We need to have everything that can be done to make them safer done. … The traffic in that area, maybe there’s an increase.” Whenever there is a collision, it results in closures at railway crossings stretching into downtown Chatham, with traffic often blocked for several hours during the investigation. CP police are the lead agency for the investigation in the latest crash. Salem Woodrow, a CP spokesperson, said they are looking into the incident, but said the “type of crossing protection at each grade crossing is determined based on regulatory requirements.” Coun. Amy Finn said she’s not sure of the specific vehicle count but estimates it could be “200 to 300 in a day easily” at the Colborne Street crossing. “I would agree a study would be nice to see the justification if they don’t (warrant changes),” she said. “But no matter the cost, one human life is worth more to a family.” SHARE THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK * * * * * SHARE THIS STORY: SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS AT RAIL CROSSING SHOULD BE CONSIDERED, SAY COUNCILLORS * Copy Link * Email * Facebook * Twitter * Reddit * Pinterest * LinkedIn * Tumblr MOST COMMENTED The following is a list of the most commented articles in the last 7 days.
