Concerning petitions for administrative review of railroad crossing closures.

Summary

  • Allows the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to file a petition for closure of a railroad crossing when the closure is part of a state-funded project.
  • Requires the WSDOT, and the lead agency for State Environmental Policy Act purposes if that is not the WSDOT, to intervene if a railroad crossing closure is contested.
  • Requires notice to the WSDOT if a railroad crossing closure petition is filed for a crossing adjacent to a WSDOT project and closure is a part of the project.
