Design Approval Process

After the
project
 documents have been approved by the district, the district railroad coordinator forwards them to the
assigned RRD
 contract specialist who then coordinates the review of these documents with the proper division personnel. Division reviews include:
  • Bridge design.
  • Grade crossing warning devices.
  • Traffic signal preemption.
  • Track design.
  • Hydraulics.
  • Pedestrian elements.
  • Landscape architecture.
  • Utility application.
After all comments have been resolved from the divisions, the
RRD
 contract specialist forwards the documents to the railroad company for review.
For follow-up comments, the district will work with the railroad company point of contact.
