If you take a road trip using Google Street View, you will see that most of the railroad crossings on Kenner Ave are equipped with active notification systems (cross bars, bell & flashing lights). Only a few do not have the active systems including the Taylor crossing. You can also clearly see a neighborhood park with playground equipment. Out of all of the crossings on Kenner Ave, wouldn’t an active notification system be the most logical at the crossing where children and families are likely to be crossing in order to visit the park?

Even a deaf person should know that you look both ways before crossing streets and railroad tracks. Common sense rules for a change.
