Mr Mazurek opened discussions and advised Council that due
to the life span of the structure he felt that a a 50 foot
opening would be better than the 36 foot opening
Mr Mazurek and Mr McGregor explained that only approximately
1400 feet of road construction would be included in the
structure and this was estimated at $32,215 00
Cost sharing of the structure was then discussed and some points
discussed were as follows.
1 Old formula for cost sharing was 50% Grade Crossing Fund
122% Railway and 372% Road Authority
2 No new formula as yet been established for the new fund
U T A P (Urban Transportation Assistance Program)

opening is approximately $80,000 00

the C.iY R to build such a structure and that such a structure
is not consistent with the railway act

accidents at this location

50% Grade Crossing Fund 25% Road Authority and 25% C N and
further stated if he had a letter to this effect C N would be
willing to push the project quicker

rise in our share of the cost of the structure but not in tl-e
