Thank you for allowing public input on the testimony given at the Hearing on Tracking Toward Zero: Improving Grade Crossing Safety and Addressing Community Concerns from February 5, 2020.
I believe the best way to do this would be for Amtrak to give up operational control of the station to ensure that operations improve to a level that passengers deserve.
I was pleased last year to work with my colleagues in the State of Illinois to secure funding for a critical grade separation at 63rd and/or 65th and Harlem in Chicago.
It is insulting for Amtrak to be cutting jobs they say are not needed and then outsourcing the same jobs to low-wage, no-benefit contractors.
