What it does

Safer, smoother drive over railroad tracks County Road 90 in Independence gets a new crossing surface. This fixes wear and bumps that make driving over the tracks rough and risky.

The bigger picture

Keeps county roads and rail service working together BNSF railroad and Hennepin County work out repairs when tracks meet public roads. Better surfaces reduce damage to both the road and rail line over time.

What to watch

Costs come from county bonds, not general funds The $75,000 cost is paid through county bonds, meaning the cost is spread across the county's overall debt load rather than covered by other revenue sources.
