Mik Bredis Quotations

Ideally a project like this would begin on the first of April but we cannot meet that time frame even if the railroad gave us the paperwork today.

You always run the risk that, if you do not get the agreement from the railroad in a reasonable amount of time, you would have roadway lanes that don't line up with anything and we would have a worse condition out there than what we have right now.

We would end up with two railroad crossings instead of a single railroad crossing and that would create some operational problems with stacking up cars when a train might be coming. It is also very difficult to have the railroads come up with a new crossing because they are mandated by Congress to eliminate roadway crossings.

It's difficult to argue if that's what they say they need for safety. So in that particular location you'll have not only the customary signals on the far side of the intersection, but you'll have one on the near side too.

The costs for every month delay will probably go up at least a half percent of the construction cost.
