Railway crossing ~Centre now will be upgraded fundraising A dangerous Acton railway ci-osaing that claimed the lives of three E.C. Drury students earlier thia year will receive federal ftanding for aafety improvements. Halton MP Julian Reed announced last Fnday that the govem- ment will aupply $160000 to tIse initiative. TIse croasing, which bas ligbts and belis but no barriera, was also the acene of another fatal accident in November, 1999 At that time, a train collided with a truck, claiming tIse life of the truck driver. But calis for barrier arma at the aite have increased since the second fatal accident, which occurred in Sept~mber as the young men were driving to achool. Police say their vehicle entered the Halton Huis crosaing on Fourth Line north of No. 22 Sideroad and was struck by a west- bound train. The tragic accident increased the presaure to improve the safety of tIse croaaing. "I'm very pleased at how quickly the funding was provided," aaid Mr. Reed. "Theae barrier arms wiIl help enaure that there are no further tragedies at this crosaing." With ftinding now in place, it's time for othera to carry out the improvements, aaid Mr. Reed. "The responsibility to ensure tIsaS barrier arma are inatslled pmmptly is now in tIse handa of tIse rail- way and municipality." _____________ I I~& ~ SPAI (905) 875-0508 550 Ontano St. S, Milton IODNI VEIE 111101!
