Many students in Colton use Colton Crossing as a walking path to and from school. What is being done to address this safety issue?
Railroad safety is of utmost concern and is one of the criteria being evaluated. Currently, the City of Colton and Operation Lifesaver representatives are working to bring railroad safety education into the community. Operation Lifesaver is a non-profit, continuing public education program first established in 1972 to end collisions, deaths, and injuries at places where roadways cross train tracks, and on railroad rights-of-way. The program delivers a safety message and reinforces the need for people to follow safe pedestrian paths.
