And if they had even more, they would grade separate all crossings. But what I am talking about is relatively small potatoes in the spending scheme of things. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">But they are responsible for public safety, and I don't believe that a lack of funding is a legitimate reason to forego an obvious safety need. If a bridge needs to be inspected for safety, they don't have the option of declining the responsibilty simply because they don't want to spend the money. If they don't have the money, they need to close the bridge. </span></span></p>
