Concern over the roughness of the railroad crossing that dissects East F Street in downtown Oakdale has prompted some citizens to get involved in hopes of smoothing out the problem. “After some discussions with city management at a recent meeting of the Burchell Hill Neighborhood Watch, we have launched a campaign to pressure Union Pacific to consider upgrading the rough rail crossing at East F Street,” said Neighborhood Watch spokesman Mike Hancock. “We have put information out on Nextdoor to ask citizens to call the Union Pacific Railroad Rough Crossing Hotline and complain about the condition of the crossing.”
