The Truesdale Board of Aldermen gave the go-ahead last week for a revised plan that  and provide a safer railroad crossing.With the unanimous approval of the board, Mayor Murray Bruer will now submit the reconfigured plan to Norfolk Southern Railroad for approval.Work can begin after the railroad’s authorization.Under the new plan, Market Street and North Depot will be widened, but be shifted farther south than originally planned to avoid intrusion into lots to the north on railroad right of way. The span of road is directly in front of Glass Gardens and Birdbath & Beyond.The new stretch will have gutters.“Right now, if two cars come along this stretch, it’s difficult,” said City Clerk MaryLou Rainwater, who remarked that as cars have become larger, safe clearing of two vehicles has become more and more tricky.As Market turns into North Depot, the road will be widened to the east on land the city purchased near Smith Street, which had been residential property, Rainwater said.To the west, the new plan calls for Market to veer to the north and be leveled out to enable drivers a better view of oncoming traffic at the railroad crossing. Currently, the incline approaching the crossing presents a visual impediment. There also may be a stop sign on Market at the crossing to help direct traffic.“If you’re a longtime resident, you know to be extra careful near the crossing, but not everyone knows to take those additional precautions,” said Rainwater.“This is going to help the flow of traffic a lot,” she said.The plan is part of street improvements being funded by a neighborhood stabilization grant administered by Booneslick Regional Planning Commission.Rainwater said the city has been working with Hannibal-based MECO Engineering Company on the street plan.City officials have said they hope the plan will be done in the spring, pending Norfolk Southern approval.The city’s neighborhood stabilization grant was applied for to help stabilize property values as the recession hit, and also addressed the need for infrastructure enhancements to support development.Truesdale will widen Market and North Depot streets
