COMPLAINTS THAT FREIGHT TRAINS

ARE BRINGING THEIR BUSINESS TO

A HALT.

CROSSING THAT WOULD BE HARD TO

FORGET FOR MANY.

RAILROAD CROSSING ON 68th

STREET IN ROSEDALE PREDATED THE

WRECK AND SUBSEQUENT EXPLOSION

BACK IN MAY OF 2013.

AND THEY CONTINUE TODAY.

YES, CSX FREIGHT TRAINS STILL

PASS BY ON THESE TRACKS SEVERAL

TIMES EACH DAY.

IT IS WHEN THEY COME TO A

COMPLETE STOP BLOCKING THE

INTERSECTION THAT THE

BUSINESSES ON THE OTHER SIDE

ARE CUT OFF FOR SOMETIMES HOURS

TAKE YOUR PATIENCE WITH YOU AND

EXPECT SOME DELAYS.

SPEAKING OF WATER, THE

CITY'S NEW BALTIMORE-METER

PROGRAM CAME UP FOR DISCUSSION

TODAY.

THE BALTIMORE DEPARTMENT OF

PUBLIC WORKS IS IN THE MIDDLE

OF UPDATING ITS METERS.

THE GOAL IS TO IMPROVE THE

BILLING PROCEDURE AND MODERNIZE

THE SYSTEM.

THE PROBLEM IS THERE HAVE BEEN

SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM

CUSTOMERS ABOUT ERRORS ON THEIR

BILLS.

AND THOSE BILLS DID NOT GET

CAPTURED BEFORE IT WENT OUT.

IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FLAGGED,

IMAMMED, AND OUR STAFF AND

VALIDATED BEFORE IT GOES OUT

WHEN WE SEE SOMETHING THAT IS

NOT NORMAL.

SO -- BLUE THE KEY IS WE WERE

ABLE TO CAPTURE AND QUICKLY

RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

BALTIMORE CITY WENT LIVE ON

THE NEW BILLING PROGRAM LAST

OCTOBER.
