CIRCLEVILLE – The Committee of the Whole will meet on January 15 at 6:30 for a public meeting on discussions on the closing of four railroad crossings in Circleville. The Ohio Rail Development and Norfolk Rail Southern Railway Company have partnered a study of railway grade crossing safety in the City of Circleville.

That study found four crossings could be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic and would improve overall safety.According to Don Sherman Public Service Director, “This is part of a federal mandate they are trying to close 25% of railroad crossings for saftey.  We currently have 18 crossings in the City of Circleville, 10 of them are main lines, High, Main, Mill, Mound, Ohio, Scioto, Court, Pickaway, Washington, and Clinton Streets.”
