24 rail-crossings will need some work in the Municipality of Glenella-Lansdowne.

Reeve Richard Funk explains, it's a tough job.

"It is because they've raised the rails up a couple inches by putting ballast under them. We have to now make it so the roads aren't making the railways into speed bumps. So we have to put dirt on both sides, and gravel it, and bring the road up to conditions that we can safely cross over the rail-bed."

Funk says the tracks are now acting like speed bumps, so they'll have to raise it up, as well as make better sight-lines at the crossings.

"Any place in the country, like we have a total of 24 crossings in the municipality, and there's bush along some of those lesser used ones in the country. We have to clear the bush, and make the sight-lines appropriate. Also for the truck to cross, so that nobody hangs up on the rail-beds - the low bed trucks -- that frequent those roads."

He says it's a big job, and he's hoping for some help with the funding.

"We just got notice of it, and right now we're assessing that. We haven't assessed what the actually dollar figure is going to be. This is the very first we've heard about it, so we're not sure what Transport Canada, or what the government is going to give us for compensation to help us out. We're certainly going to try and get financial help to do this."

Funk wants to have all of them completed by August.
