(The Center Square) — The federal infrastructure bill provided millions to help communities close troubling grade crossings, but a U.S. senator from Georgia wants federal railroad authorities to take blocked railroad crossings more seriously.
“This is a major issue for communities across metro Atlanta and the state,” U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Georgia, said during a Monday event. “Blockages at rail crossings are not just an inconvenience; they’re a threat to health and to life.”
