unsatisfactory rail bed repairs, edmond, ok 08/2019
1
Dear BNSF: BNSF or its subcontractors recently repaired the rail bed at W 15 St. in Edmond, OK 73013/73034 at the RR crossing west of Boulevard. The repairs included a concrete/steel bed (which is satisfactory) and asphalt road repairs (woefully unsatisfactory) on 15th St. in both directions, in all four lanes, west of Broadway at the rail crossing. The asphalt paving patches done as part or the recent rail bed repairs are unacceptably rough/uneven at the posted 40mph speed limit. Even at 10-15 mph the bumps are unacceptable. I have observed vehicles bottoming out and work trucks and trailers nearly bouncing their equipment out the backs of the vehicles. The roughness damages vehicles (suspensions and catalytic converters) and jars occupants. Please redo the asphalt paving as soon as possible. Thousands drive this route daily. Thank you for listening. Sincerely Dr. Edward Holmes 814 Pine Oak Drive Edmond, OK 73034
