    6.5 million??? And how many kids are going to climb that thing up and down instead of just running across the tracks? So add a few million more for a fence? Or buy a bus and drive them safely across the road crossing there, and save MILLIONS! Just give the bus Wi-Fi and the kids will live in it.

    How about instead of level crossing replace it with a vehicular/ pedestrian bridge. These trains are also clogging up the roads.

      No kid is gonna walk up and down those stairs when they can just walk across the tracks. This is a liability issue only.

      I'm with you 100%... and I bike 100+ miles a week every week. Most actual, regular cyclists in Houston HATE that retarded and pointless and expensive "road furniture" the city keeps installing in places where nobody actually bikes. It's infuriating.

    I don’t agree tax payer money should go to that I believe Union Pacific should cover that if that’s the case. Children should not be walking along the train tracks. Especially in front of moving trains
