the above referenced crossings. You are proceeding with obtaining the in-house approvals needed for the crossings. You also agreed that you can serve as the one point ofcontact for the
Town of Addison for the crossing approvals and that you would coordinate with DGNO. I also wanted to explain that the Inwood/S.Quorum crossing is our top priority. The engineering plans
are essentially complete and the money is available to build the crossing. We just need your compensation package proposal and the approval to go ahead. I look forward to hearing from
you soon. Please give me a call at 972-450-2879 ifyou have any questions or require any additional information. Very truly yours, 􀁾􀁾􀁾􀀠Town ofAddison {rtda-J 􀀣􀁾􀁾􀀠􀁲􀁩􀁐􀁾􀀠R,wdly--I

Jim Pierce From: Jim Pierce Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2000 9:15 AM To: Michael Murphy Cc: Ron Whitehead; Chris Terry Subject: Inwood/S.Quorum Railroad Crossing I spoke to Lonnie Blaydes
of DART today. LB thinks the Carrollton Rail Yard can be expanded to provide the storage DGNO needs for compensation for the lost storage. Engineering is studying the situation now.
Their attention has been diverted because Amtrak's expanded service plans negatively impacts DGNO's freight business somehow. Amtrack will be hauling more freight along with its passengers.
LB will be gone the month of June and he wants to have our storage issue resolved before he goes. I asked about DGNO's lease on the Farmers Branch spur. LB said there are two conditions
to consider: 1. DARTIDGNO agreement, but, more importantly, 2. There is a right to serve, or trackage right, which is based in Federal Regulations, which says that as long as there are
ct,lstomers, they will have freight service. Jim Pierce, P.E. Assistant City Engineer PO Box 9010 Addison, TX 75001-9010 972-450-2879 0-7-00 1

at Inwood Road Dear Mr. Blaydes: On April 12, 2000, Ron Whitehead. Mike Murphy and I attended a meeting at Carrollton City Hall with the Mayor of Carrollton, Carrollton staff, members
ofyour staff and David Eyermann. The fIrst part ofthe meeting was devoted to a discussion ofestablishing" quiet zones" in accordance with proposed regulations. However, the second part
of the meeting, (separate from the frrst part), and the subject of this letter, foeused on the ToWn ofAddison's proposed railroad crossing at Inwood Road. Jan Seidner, Noma Bulat and
David Eyermann had just finished a high rail trip looking for storage space to replace that lost by the proposed crossing. Their report ofthe trip was not encouraging. However, after
further consideration, the discussion turned more positive regarding two possible solutions. One would be for storage track to be constructed on the south side ofthe main line between
the wye, and just west of Marsh Lane. Jan said she would run this idea by the planning and engineering group to see ifit would be compatible with future rail activities. The other idea
was expansion of the Carrollton yard. David said that some culvert work would be needed for an expansion to take place but that may be very feasible. Perhaps one, or a combination of
both of these ideas would provide the solution needed. I will give you a call in a few days so that we can diseuss this matter further. Thanks for your help. (' J, t Very truly yours,

Can you get me the answer to Ron's question about how much we have contributed to DART since its inception? Thanks, Jim. ---Original Message-···· From: Ron Whitehead Sent: Tuesday, March
21, 2000 10:52 PM To: Jim Pierce Subject: RE: DART/Galleria Spur Jim. We have always known it would be expensive. but more expensive than roW's they have purchased in other places? Jim
can you ask Randy or Elaine to provide us with information on how much we have contributed to DART since it's inception? Also. has anyone mentioned to you that we are receiving numerous
complaints from both office tenants and residents about the increase traffic on this line and the constant blowing of horns. We need to visit about this when I get back. This is a problem
on a number of fronts. Thanks, Ron -----Origlnal Message-From: Jim Pierce Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2000 8:39 AM To: Ron Whitehead Cc: Chris Terry; Michael Murphy Subject: DART/Galieria
Spur I spoke with Lonnie Blaydes of DART (214-749-3008) today regarding RR crossing issues. He made the statement that DART has had some interest in purchasing the Galleria Spur and
that he would be talking to the Union Pacific people soon about additional ROW purchases. I told him about your vision of that ROW possibly having some future use in a people mover system
and that it should be acquired. Lonnie stated UP would want a high price because of the real estate value alone. Thought you might want to follow up on this with your contacts. Jim Pierce.

rights we need for our Arapaho Road and Quorum Drive crossings. I have enclosed two copies ofa map showing the location ofthose crossings. More specifically, the Quorum Drive Crossing
will go across track that is presently used for storage by the Dallas Garland Northeastern Railroad (DGNR). Consequently, they are asking for storage elsewhere in the system to compensate
for this loss, plus additional storage to compensate them for loss of efficiency. You stated that you frequently meet with David Eyermann, and others, with DGNR, and that you would discuss
the storage issue with them and try to identify areas along the various rights-of-way that may may be suitable for additional storage. We appreciate your help in this matter. Please
contact either Mike Murphy, Acting Director ofPublic Works at 972-450-2878 or me at 972-450-2879 as soon as you have some information or results to report. Very truly yours, Town ofAddison

Secure the rights to cross the Galleria Spur from the Union Pacific Railroad for Arapaho Road Phase IIIIII and the South Quorum Connection. Tasks: Deadline Date: I. Complete Crossing
Report. February 12, 1999 This report is being updated by GBW Engineering. 2. Send letter and report to the Union Pacific Railroad February 19, 1999 (Cheryl Kinkel -4021997-3620) requesting
permission to cross. John Baumgartner will draft letter. 3. Schedule meeting with Cheryl Kinkel to discuss the March 19,1999 request. Invite her to Dallas if not go to Omaha, Nebraska
with John Baumgartner, Ron Whitehead and Mayor Beckert(?). John Baumgartner will schedule the meeting. 4. Have the crossings appraised assuming a negative response June 8, 1999 from
the railroad. Start appraisals April 9, 1999. Marlin Blake will prepare appraisals. 5. Obtain permission from the Council to make offer to the railroad June 22, 1999 based on the appraised
value at the City Council meeting. John Baumgartner will prepare furmal offer letter with assistance from legal counsel. 6. File condemnation suit after Council meeting. August 11, 1999
Legal counsel will prepare and file. 7. Schedule special commissioners hearing. Legal counsel will November 19, 1999 schedule hearing. 8. Pay for the award and take possession. December
31, 1999 
Arapaho Road Page 2 of2 Potential Hurdles: 1. Scheduling meeting with Cheryl Kinkel, Ron Whitehead and/or the Mayor. 2. The Union Pacific could object to our power of eminent domain
and delay any action because their rights take precedent over our or request a federal venue because of interstate commerce issues. 3. After obtaining right to cross we may need to work
out agreements regarding signalization/safety protection. 4. There is not a significant funding source for the Arapaho Road Project to pay for crossing rights. 5. Scheduling the eminent
domain hearing in November may be difficult and cause the hearing to slip to late January, 2000

Section 1 Introduction The Town of Addison is a community in north Dallas County that contains highly concentrated commercial and residential land uses. It is generally bordered by similar
high density developments in the cities ofCarrollton, Farmers Branch and Dallas. The hotels, office buildings, retail businesses and restaurants in Addison are daily destinations for
many DallasIF orth Worth residents and visitors. As a result, the primary transportation arteries in Addison are frequently overloaded with traffic. The land adjacent to many ofthe busiest
thoroughfares in Addison bas been fully developed up to the existing right-of-way lines; consequently, it is not feasible to widen them. This has dictated that the Town ofAddison look
for alternative ways to relieve the local transportation network. The extensions ofArapaho Road and Quorum Drive are two important thoroughfare improvement projects which have been identified
by Addison's staff. These improvements involve crossing a Union Pacific railroad spur spur at the two locations shown in Exhibit A. GBWEngineers, Inc. (GBW) was retained by the Town
ofAddison to update a previous 1994 study ofthe two proposed railroad crossings. The subsequent sections in this report contain a description oftraffic conditions in the vicinity ofthe
proposed crossings, alternatives to the crossings, and the construction impacts. 98-094 3 Januaty 11.1999

Section 2 Traffic Conditions The first phase ofthe previous study involved an evaluation oftraffic conditions in the general area ofthe proposed railroad crossings. This phase included
the following steps: • Examine land use in the general area. • Review existing historical and projected traffic volumes within the transportation network. • Evaluate whether the proposed
railroad crossings would help to alleviate traffic congestion. • Determine ifviable alternatives exist to the proposed crossings. 2.1 General Description ofthe Area The Town ofAddison
is a north Dallas community with a residential population of 11,500 located in four and a halfsquare miles. Exhibit B is a location map for the Town ofAddison. Addison'spopUlation swells
during the daytime hours to approximately 100,000 people who travel to work or to eat at one ofthe Town's 140 restaurants. There are approximately 1,500 single family homes, 22 apartment
complexes and 17 hotels within the Town limits. Numerous retail areas are located in and adjacent to Addison, totaling around 1.6 million square feet of retail space. Major Dallas retail
centers, including the Galleria and Valley View Mall are adjacent to Addison. The Addison Airport is the third busiest general aviation airport in the nation. It is home to approximately
750 aircraft. One of the commercial areas that will benefit from the railroad crossings is the Quorum DrivelLandmark Boulevard business park, bounded by Belt Line Road, the North Dallas
Tollway, Spring Valley Road and the Union Pacific railroad spur. This area currently contains 2.0 million square feet ofoffice space. One-third ofthis land is vacant and open to future
development. A significant amount of high density commercial, retail, and residential construction is presently underway on the west side ofthe North Dallas Tollway. This includes multi-story
office buildings just north and south of Spring Valley Road, and the mixed use Addison Circle development just north ofArapaho Road. Exhibit C is an aerial photograph which highlights
the development density in the vicinity ofthe requested railroad crossings. 98·094 4 Januw:y 11.1999

Traffic Conditions (cont'd) 2.2 Description ofthe Transportation Network The Dallas North Tollway is a major north-south freeway which passes through Addison. It serves as a link between
the north Dallas urban and suburban communities and downtown Dallas. Interstate Highway 635 (I.H. 635) is an east-west freeway located just south of Addison. Preston Road (U.S. 289)
is a six-lane divided urban thoroughfare which runs north and south on the east side of Addison. Midway Road and Marsh Lane are north-south urban thoroughfares which pass through Addison
on the west side oftown. Inwood Road! Addison Road is a four-lane undivided north-south thoroughfare which passes through the center of Addison. The major thoroughfares which pass through
Addison from east to west are Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road, although only the portion ofSpring Valley Road between Midway Road and Marsh Lane is located withio Addison's city
limits. Belt Line Road, which is a continuous loop around Dallas County, is one ofthe most congested urban roadways in the region. Arapaho Road is a major thoroughfare which enters Addison
from the east and currently ends just west ofthe Dallas North Tollway. An extension ofArapaho Road, from just west ofthe Tollway to Addison Road, is presently under coustruction. The
further exteusion of Arapaho Road from Addison Road west to Marsh Lane wonld require one of the two proposed railroad spur crossings. These major freeways and thoroughfares are shown
on Exhibit D. 2.3 Capacity of the Transportation Network Traffic congestion on Belt Line Road withio the city limits prompted the Town ofAddison to commission a traffic study. This study
included a tabulationof the recorded traffic volumes for different segments ofBelt Line Road from 1982 to 1996. This tabulation, which is provided in Table 1, indicates the steady increase in traffic volumes
during this period. In addition, the study included a comparison oftraffic volumes and Level ofService (LOS) between 1996 traffic volumes on Belt Line Road and projected volumes for
the year 2020. This comparison for the section ofBelt Line Road just west ofAddison Road and east of Midway Road is sununarized in Table 2. 98-094 5 January II. 1999

ofBeIt Line Road was established using data obtained from the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), which is a regional planning agency. NCTCOG has developed a regional
traffic model for the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex which can be accessed by local municipalities for transportation planning purposes. A daily capacity of 43,500 vehicles was used for
the Volume/Capacity calculations. The year 2020 scenario assumes that Arapaho Road is extended from Addison Road to Marsh Lane. LOS is a quantitative measure identifying how effectively
traffic is managed along a roadway link and is defined by categories A through F. The Highway Capacity Capacity Manual (Special Report 209) provides the following general statements
regarding arterial LOS: *Level-of-service A describes primarily free flowoperations at average travel speeds usually about 90 percent of the free flow speed for the arterial class. Vebicles
are completely unimpeded in their ability to maneuver within the traffic stream. Stopped delay at signalized intersections is minimal. *Level-of-service B represents reasonably unimpeded
operations at average travel speeds usually about 70 percent of the free flow speed for the arterial class. The ability to marteuver within the traffic stream is ouly slightly restricted
and stopped delays are not bothersome. Drivers are not generally subjected to appreciable tension. 7 January II, 1999 
Traffic Conditions (cont'd) *Level-o(:.service C represents stable operation. However, ability to maneuver and change lanes in mid-block locations may be more restricted than in LOS
B, and longer queues and/or adverse signal coordination may contribute to lower average travel speeds of about 50 percent of the average free flow speed for the arterial class. Motorists
will experience an appreciable tension while driving. '*Level-o(:.service D borders on a range in which small increases in flow may cause substantial increases in approach delay and,
hence, decreases in arterial speed. This may be due to adverse signal progression, inappropriate signal timing, high volumes, or some combination ofthese. Average travel speeds are about
40 percent offree flow speed. '*Level-o(:.service E is characterized by significant approach delays and average travel speeds of onethird of the free flow speed or lower. Such operations
are caused by some combination of adverse progression, high signal density, extensive queuing at at critical intersections, and inappropriate signal timing. '*Level-o(:.service F characterizes
arterial flow at extremely low speeds below one-third to one-quarter of the free flow speed. Intersection congestion is likely at critical signalized locations with high approach delays
resulting. Adverse progression is frequently a contributor to this condition. Table 2 confirms that the extension ofArapaho Road reduces the projected increase in traffic volumes on
Belt Line Road through the year 2020. In the vicinity of Addison Road, the Arapaho project is to projected to divert 14,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day from Belt Line Road resulting in
a net improvement in LOS from the existing condition. Near Marsh Lane, the NCTCOG traffic model predicts that the Arapaho Road extension will result in a 28% net diversion oftraffic
from Belt Line Road ofabout 11,000 vehicles per day with a resulting improvement in the LOS. Consequently, the Arapaho Road extension, with the associated railroad spur crossing, is
considered considered vital to the improvement ofAddison's transportation network. In addition to the Arapaho Road railroad spur crossing at Location 1, a second spur crossing located
between Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road, was evaluated (See Exhibit A). The primary factors that provide the impetus for a second railroad crossing are outlined below: 98-094 8
January 11, 1999 
Traffic Conditions (cont'd) • Westbound traffic crossing under the Dallas North Tollway on Valley Verde cannot connect with a north-south arterial south ofBelt Line Road. • The North
Dallas Tollway service road on the west side between Verde Valley and Spring Valley only provides access for southbound vehicles. • The Quorum DrivelLandmark Boulevard business park
contains high-rise commercial and hotel development. The remaining undeveloped land in this business park is slated for similar high-density development. Traffic from these developments
cannot connect with a north-south arterial south ofBelt Line Road. • There is no way for eastbound traffic to enter the Quorum DrivelLandmark Boulevard business park other than from
Belt Line Road. • In order to access the Inwood Road!Addison Road arterial at the nearest point, traffic from Verde Valley and the Quorum Drive!Landmark Boulevard business park must
first travel west on Belt Line Road or go south on the Tollway service road and west on Spring Valley. • The property south ofQuorum DrivelLandmark Boulevard, including the Princeton
and Wellington office buildings, can only be entered from the north and exited to the south on the Tollway service road. Not only is this difficult for the users of the property, it
is also difficult for emergency service vehicles that have to deal with limited access and severe congestion. • A railroad crossing between Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road at Location
2, Exhibit A, would provide additional relief to the severely congested southbound Tollway service road and provide relieffor Belt Line Road. 2.4 Alternatives to the Railroad Crossings
Belt Line Road, from the Dallas North Tollway to Marsh Lane, has been largely developed on both sides up to a l00-foot wide road right-of-way (R.O.W.). Nine-foot-wide parkways are typical
behind the curb on both sides ofthe roadway. The existing commercial, retail and restaurant developments that abut most of this portion ofBelt Line road make a roadway widening project
impractical. Consequently, upgrading the existing railroad by widening the crossing at Belt Line Road is not feasible. A similar condition exists with the existing developments along
Spring Valley Road between the Dallas North Tollway and Marsh Lane. Inaddition, the railroad crossing at Spring Valley Road is located within the city limits ofFarmers Branch. As a result,
the Town ofAddison does not have the jurisdiction required to widen this crossing. Given the degree of traffic 9 JanuillY 11.1999 
Traffic Conditions (cont'd) congestion in the general area, and the difficulty emergency vehicles have in accessing the Quorum DrivelLandmark Boulevard business park, an additional railroad
crossing (No.2 on Exhibit A) between Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road is essential. Grade-separated crossings at the Arapaho Road and Quorum Drive extensions were also considered.
At Quorum Drive, there is not sufficient room to construct the ramps required for a grade-separated crossing. At Arapaho Road, a grade-separated crossing would have to span a wye portion
ofthe spur and Addison Road. The height ofan elevated crossing at this location would represent a safety hazard for the aircraft at neighboring Addison Airport, as the bridge would be
located across the flight path. In addition, there is not sufficient room between Addison Road and the railroad spur to construct an underpass. Therefore, gradeseparated crossings are
not viable alternatives to the proposed at-grade crossings. 98·094 10 January II. 1999 
Section 3 Construction Impacts The second phase ofthe previous study involved a review ofthe construction impacts associated with the proposed railroad crossings. This phase included
the following considerations: • Geometric considerations ofthe railroad crossings. • Impact ofthe crossings on railroad operations. 3.1 Geometric Considerations The extension ofArapaho
Road (see Location I -Exhibit A) across a wye portion ofthe an indnstrial spur will require dual at-grade railroad crossings. These crossings would occur at approximate elevations of628
and 630 mean sea level (msl). The intersection ofAddison Road and Arapaho Road is at an approximate elevation of630 msl. Consequently, the road extension across the wye would be relatively
flat. The future horizontal alignment for the Arapaho Road extension shown in Exhibit E maintains an approximate minimum horizontal clearance of50 feet from the southernmost trunk railroad
track (see Exhibit E). An extension ofQuorum Drive/Landmark Boulevard across the railroad spur (see Location 2 -Exhibit A) will require a single at-grade crossing. This crossing, as
shown in Exhibit F, occurs at an approximate elevation of633. The Inwood Road intersection would occur at an approximate elevation of630. A straight grade of5.50/0:1:: would result between
the track and Inwood Road (see Exhibit F). Although the horizontal and verticai geometries would need to be evaloated in more detail during the design phase, there appear to be no geometric
constraints which would prohibit the aforementioned railroad crossings. 3.2 Railroad Impacts The following are three impacts on the railroad which have been identified as a result ofthe
two proposed crossings. • The two tracks at the Arapaho Road wye crossing would not be crossed at right angles, resulting in a less than ideal line of sight condition. A fuliy signalized
crossing with gates would be proposed to mitigate this condition. • The impact on switching movements at the wye would need to be considered. Addison previously completed an upgrade
ofthe Addison Road railroad crossing which relocated a switch out ofthe road crossing and realigned one ofthe wye tracks. 98·094 It January 11. 1999 
Construction Impacts (cont'd) • 'Three spur tracks would be crossed at the Quorum Drive/Landmark Boulevard location. Coordination with railroad operations would be required to determine
the impact ofthe multiple track crossing. A fully signalized crossing with gates would be proposed to mitigate the concerns associated with this crossing. 98-094 12 January II, 1999

Section 4 Conclusions and Recommendations Rapid growth in north DaUas and the neighboring suburban communities has resulted in traffic congestion on many urban thoroughfares. The Town
ofAddison, which is in the center ofthe growth corridor, is highly developed with commercial, hotel, retail and restaurant developments either inside or adjacent to its city limits;
consequently, its primary thoroughfares are particularly congested. A traffic study commissioned by Addison demonstrates the existing poor level ofservice on Belt Line Road, the busiest
east-west thoroughfare. There is no room for the expansion ofBelt Line Road within the present right-of-way, and existing developments on both sides ofthis roadway make a widening project
impractical. The most feasible way to relieve one ofthe most congested segments ofBelt Line Road is to continue the extension ofArapaho Road from Addison Road west to Marsh Lane. This
extension involves the crossing ofa wye on the Union Pacific spur just west ofAddison Road. This is the first railroad crossing requested by the Town ofAddison. The second railroad crossing
requested by Addison is also designed to relieve the severely congested southbound Tollway service road along with Belt Line Road. In addition, this railroad crossing will provide better
access for emergency vehicles to and from the Quorum DrivefLandmark Boulevard business park. Presently, there is no way for eastbound traffic to access this business park other than
from Belt Line Road. IfQuorum Drive were extended across the Union Pacific spur, access to the business park would be provided to Inwood Road, a north-south thoroughfare which counects
with alternative east-west thoroughfares. The Town of Addison recognizes that the proposed railroad crossings affect railroad operations, however, the pressing need to upgrade an already
overloaded road network in this area provides the Town with no other practical alternative. Addison has a strong desire to work with Union Pacific to mitigate any concerns regarding
the impact ofthe proposed crossings on the affucted railroad spur. 98·094 13 January II. 1999
