The railway crossing consists of one track with a heavy skew across Washington Avenue. In addition to the awkward skew, Chapman Road intersects Washington Avenue in the middle of the crossing. Drivers turning left onto Washington Avenue from Chapman Road immediately encounter the track crossing. The railroad is currently operated and maintained by UPRR. Crossing safety is a priority issue not only for the City, but also for UPRR, Amtrak, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), and the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC). Safety enhancements are recommended for Niles Subdivision railroad crossings with Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/30/2022
