I appreciate all of you being here to look at this issue and see how we can move forward.
There are a number of questions that all of us have. As the former mayor for almost a decade, I know well the issues that the community has dealt with, as well as the blockages to emergency vehicles to get to the community on numerous occasions.
Part of this is to take a lens and look at this, and see what we can do in this situation, because there may be other situations across the country that exhibit similar circumstances.
My first question would be for BNSF, to whomever wants to answer it. Given what we have just heard from the fire chief and concerns that have been expressed—and they are ongoing concerns in the community—how are you addressing this issue? It is very important that emergency vehicles have access when they need to get into a community. As I said, this has been going on continually. What do we need to do here?
