Ashland At-Grade Crossing Study
Ashland At-Grade Crossing Study
Introduction
The Town of Ashland is conducting a study to evaluate potential improvements at seven designated railroad crossings between Vaughan Road and Ashcake Road. The study aims to identify solutions to improve safety and efficiency at rail crossing areas. This study is not related to DC2RVA.
The purpose of this survey is to gather public input on user experiences at the study rail crossing areas.
