Background and Discussion In June, 1987, the City of Redwood City requested authority to alter the ' Southern Pacific Railroad ("SPRR") crossing at Seaport Court (EA-28.10-C) under the provisions of General Order 88-A (PUC Administrative Code). Approval was given with the following conditions: • 1. Placement of one Standard No. 9 Gate-Type Signal controlling the existing traffic from Seaport Court onto Seaport Boulevard. 2. Traffic control signals at the intersection of Seaport Boulevard/Seaport Court be installed with railroad pre-emption designating "No Left Turn" and "No Right Turn" internally illuminated signs controlling traffic from Seaport Boulevard onto Seaport Court. � The tWO items are either completed or in process. The railroad gate will be installed in the near future by SPRR utilizinq State Crossing Protection Funds, and the agreement with the City's share of cost has been executed. The traffic signal has been completed in accordance with the provisions, and is awaiting the installation of the railroaa gate and controller, after which the system will be activated. The purpose of this crossing alteration was to allow the construction of a 63,000 square foot two-story building at the intersection of Seaport Court/Seaport Boulevard by Portside Associates. This necessitated the relocation of the intersection westerly along Seaport Boulevard. This alteration required Public Utilities Comnission ("PUC"), Southern Transportation Company ("SPTC") and BCDC approvals. These approvals have all been obtained. The last item is the reconstruction of the trccks to SPTC's guidelines for which they are requesting payment in the amount of 519,976. Nork will be • done by railroad employees.
