LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – According to the city of Lincoln, the railroad crossings at 33rd Street and Adams Street combined have one of the highest exposure and crash ratings in Nebraska, causing many to avoid them.

With plans to improve the railroad crossing as part of the 33rd and Cornhusker project, many people across the board are expressing gratitude for what’s to come.

Monae Moody is a Lincoln mother who travels near the crossing, often with her daughter in the car.

“There’s a lot of backups, a lot of traffic most of the time, a lot of the time,” she said. “I’m over here having a kid in the car; when there’s a train there, it’s a risk. You try to avoid the area.”

Business owners nearby say navigating the area gets worse during rush hour. Employees are also expressing frustration.
