Trains Blocking Crossings in Tuscaloosa | Birmingham News

Published 3 days, 17 hours ago
Description

A Tuscaloosa resident is demanding answers from city council over trains blocking crossings for too long—posing real risks to daily life and emergency response. He recalls a 2017 ordinance that allowed police to cite trains lingering past five minutes, questioning if the city has abandoned this stance. While federal law may limit local control, he insists the city must act: proposing six solutions—from enforcing old rules to pushing for federal funding for overpasses. No evidence of actual emergency delays was presented, but his focus is on prevention and leadership. Council offered no response, leaving key legal questions unanswered.
