However as promised, attached is the official FRA final report (Part 2) in which completes the remainder of the at-grade crossing locations along the proposed AAF service route. Please take special note of the section titled Traffic Signal Preemption (page 3), since this is a critical component relative to the safety of motorists. Just as important as the railroad warning devices is the proper phasing in the highway traffic signals in allowing for vehicles to clear safely prior to the activation of the railroad’s lights and gates. I truly enjoyed my time during our onsite assessment, and getting to meet and work with you all as we analyzed each crossing location in your community. Should you have any questions or need further clarification, by all means please let me know. Respectfully, Frank A. Frey, Gen.

Cocoa and Cocoa Beach are two separate municipalities. The FEC corridor traverses through Cocoa, not Cocoa Beach. 2 Although Michigan Ave is the last grade crossing along the AAF route, its maximum speed is 60 MPH due to the train slowing down and transitioning to and from the Route 528 corridor. tğŭĻ 1 ƚŅ 8 #´±±¤­³«¸ ³§¤ ¤­¦¨­¤¤±¨­¦ £¤²¨¦­ ¯« ­²  ±¤  ³ ΒΏυȁ 4§¤ ­¤·³ iteration ¥®± ³§¨² ²¤¦¬¤­³ ¶¨«« ¡¤  ³ ΘΏυǾ ¶§¨¢§ ¨²  ­³¨¢¨¯ ³¤£ ³® ¡¤ ¥´±­¨²§¤£ ¶¨³§¨­ ²¨· ¬®­³§²ȁ !¢¢®±£¨­¦«¸Ǿ &2! «®®ª² ¥®±¶ ±£ ³® ±¤µ¨¤¶¨­¦ ³§¤ ±¤µ¨²¤£ £¤²¨¦­ ¯« ­²  ³ ³§ ³ ³¨¬¤ȁ Results: /¥  «« ³§¤ 86 ¦± £¤ ¢±®²²¨­¦²  ²²¤²²¤£ ¨­ "±¤µ ±£  ­£ )­£¨ ­ 2¨µ¤± ¢®´­³¨¤²Ǿ ³§¤±¤  ±¤ 64 ¢±®²²¨­¦ «®¢ ³¨®­² affected ¥®± 3¤ «¤£ #®±±¨£®± ³±¤ ³¬¤­³² ¶¨³§¨­ ³§¤ ΐΐΏ -0( ³¤±±¨³®±¸ȁ 4§¤ ±¤¬ ¨­¨­¦ ¢±®²²¨­¦²  «±¤ £¸ § µ¤ 3¤ «¤£ #®±±¨£®± £¤²¨¦­ ¤«¤¬¤­³² ¨­ ¯« ¢¤ǿ ²´¢§  ² ¤·¨²³¨­¦ one- ¶ ¸ ²³±¤¤³sǾ £¨µ¨£¤£ ±® £¶ ¸²Ǿ ®± § µ¤ ¬¤£¨ ­²ȁ )­  ££¨³¨®­ ³® accommodations ¥®± ³§¤ ²¤¢®­£ track, ³§¤ ±emaining ¢±®²²¨­¦² ¶®´«£ ±¤°´¨±¤ ³§¤¨± ¬¤£¨ ­² ³® ¡¤  £©´²³¤£ ¨­ «¤­¦³§  ­£ ¡¤ ¤°´¨¯¯¤£ ¶¨³§   ¬¨­¨¬´¬ ®¥ ΐΏΏ-¥¤¤³ ®¥ ­®­-traver² ¡«¤ ¢´±¡¨­¦ ¥®± ¤ ¢§  ¯¯±® ¢§ȁ !² ¬¤­³¨®­¤£ ¨­ ³§¤ 0 ±³ ΐ 2¤¯®±³Ǿ ®¥¥¨¢¨ «² ¥±®¬ !«« !¡® ±£ &«®±¨£  ¯ ²²¤­¦¤± ± ¨« ¯±®©¤¢³ £¨£ ­®³ ¨­¨³¨ ««¸ adopt Highway-2 ¨« '± £¤ #±®²²¨­¦ '´¨£¤«¨­¤² ¥®± (¨¦§-3¯¤¤£ 0 ²²¤­¦¤± 2 ¨«Ǿ 6¤±²¨®­ ΐȁΏ Ȩ.®µ¤¬¡¤± 2009 ȩȁ How¤µ¤±Ǿ ¨­   «¤³³¤± £ ³¤£ *´­¤ 4Ǿ ΑΏΐΓ ³® ³§¤ 4±¤ ²´±¤ #® ²³ 2¤¦¨®­ « 0« ­­¨­¦ #®´­¢¨«Ǿ &«®±¨£  Secretary ®¥ Transportation !­ ­³§ 0± ² £Ǿ 0ȁ%ȁǾ ²³ ³¤£ ³§ ³ !!& ¶¨«« ¡¤ ±¤°´¨±¤£ ³® ¢®¬¯«¸ ¶¨³§ ¦´¨£¤«¨­¤² ¥®± ± ¨« ¢±®²²¨­¦ ² ¥¤³¸  ² ²¯¤¢¨¥¨¤£ ¥®± §¨¦§¤± ²¯¤¤£ ¯ ²²¤­¦¤± ± ¨« ²¤±µ¨¢¤²«¤³³¤±Ǿ ³§¤ 0±®©¤¢³ § ² ²¨­¢¤ £¨±¤¢³¤£ ¨³² ²¨¦­ «² ¢®­²´«³ ­³² ³® ¨­¢®±¯®± ³¤  «« ®¥ ³§¤ 3¤ «¤£ #®±±¨£®± £¤²¨¦­ ³±¤ ³¬¤­³² ¶§¤±¤  ¯¯«¨¢ ¡«¤  «®­¦ ³§¤ ¤­³¨±¤ !!& ²¤±µ¨¢¤ routeȁ 4§¤ £¨ ¦­®²³¨¢ ³¤ ¬ ¬ ¸ § µ¤ ³® ±¤-µ¨²¨³ ³§¤ ¯±¤µ¨®´² ΔΖ ¦± £¤ ¢±®²²¨­¦² identified ¨­ ³§¤ 0 ±³ ΐ 2¤¯®±³ ³® µ «¨£ ³¤  ­£ µ¤±¨¥¸ ¢®¬¯«¨ ­¢¤ȁ 3 ¥¤³¸ Recommendations: 4§¤ ¥®««®¶¨­¦  ±¤ ±¤¢®¬¬¤­£ ³¨®­² ¬ £¤ ³® ³§¤ 0±®©¤¢³  ²   ±¤²´«³ ®¥ ³§¤ on-²¨³¤ ¥¨¤«£  ²²¤²²¬¤­³² £´±¨­¦ ³§¤ £¨ ¦­®²³¨¢ ² ¥¤³¸ ±¤µ¨¤¶Ȁ A. 0¤£¤²³±¨ ­ ¦ ³¤² ³§¤±¤  ±¤ several «®¢ ³¨®­²  «®­¦ ³§¤ ¢®±±¨£®± at ¶§¨¢§ ²¨£¤¶ «ª²  ±¤ present ®­ ¡®³§ ²¨£¤² ®¥ ³§¤ ± ¨«±® £ ±¨¦§³-of-wayǾ ¡´³ £® ­®³ ¢®­³¨­´¤ through ³§¤ ¦± £¤ crossingȁ (®¶¤µ¤±Ǿ ³§¤±¤ ¨²  ¢³¨µ¤ ¢®«« ¡®± ³¨®­ ¡¤³¶¤¤­ ³§¤ 0±®©¤¢³  ­£ ³§¤ ±¤²¯¤¢³¨µ¤ municipality ¶¨³§¨­ "±¤µ ±£  ­£ )­£¨ ­ 2¨µ¤± ¢®´­³¨¤² ³® ¢®±±¤¢³ ³§¤ ²¨£¤¶ «ª ¢®­³¨­´¨³¸ problemsȁ 4§¤±¤ ¨²   ¢®¬¬¨³¬¤­³ ®­ ¡®³§ ²¨£¤² ³® ¤°´¨¯ ³§¤ ¤·¨²³¨­¦ ²¨£¤¶ «ª² ¶¨³§ ¯¤£¤²³±¨ ­ ¦ ³¤ assembliesȁ 4§¤¨± ¯ ±³­¤±²§¨¯ ¶¨««  «²® ³ ±¦¤³ ¤·¨²³¨­¦  ­£ ¯« ­­¤£ ±® £¶ ¸ tğŭĻ 2 ƚŅ 8 ¤­§ ­¢¤¬¤­³ ¯±®©¤¢³² ¶¨³§  £© ¢¤­³ ²¨£¤¶ «ª²Ǿ ¨­¢«´£¨­¦ ³® ¯±¤-¶¨±¤ °´ £± ­³² ¥®± ±® £¶ ¸ ¯±®©¤¢³² ¢®¬¬¤­¢¨­¦  ³   « ³¤± £ ³¤ȁ &2! ²´¦¦¤²³² ³§ ³ ¢®­²¨£¤± ³¨®­ ¡¤ ¦¨µ¤­ ³® ³§¤ ¨­²³ «« ³¨®­ ®¥ ¯¤£¤²³±¨ ­ ²¶¨­¦ ¦ ³¤²ȁ 4§¨² ¶®´«£ ¤­ ¡«¤ ¯¤£¤²³±¨ ­² ®­ ³§¤ ¢±®²²¨­¦   ¬¤ ­² ®¥ ¤¦±¤²² ³® ¤·¨³ ³§¤ ¢±®²²¨­¦ȁ )­ ®±£¤± ³® ¨­¢±¤ ²¤ ³§¤ ¤¥¥¤¢³¨µ¤­¤²² ®¥ ¯¤£¤²³±¨ ­ ¦ ³¤²Ǿ t§¤ ¨­²³ «« ³¨®­ ®¥ ¥¤­¢¨­¦ ®± ®³§¤± ¬¤ ­² ®¥ ¢§ ­­¤«¨¹ ³¨®­ ²§®´«£  «²® ¡¤ ¢®­²¨£¤±¤£ ³® £¤³¤± ¯¤£¤²³±¨ ­² ¥±®¬ ¢¨±¢´¬µ¤­³¨­¦ ³§¤ ¦ ³¤²ȁ !³ &®´±-1´ £± ­³ ' ³¤ «®¢ ³¨®­²Ǿ ´³¨«¨¹¨­¦ ³§¤ µ¤§¨¢´« ± ¤·¨³¨­¦ ¦ ³¤  ²   ¯¤£¤²³±¨ ­ ¥´­¢³¨®­ ¥®± ²¨£¤¶ «ª² ¨² ­®³ ±¤¢®¬¬¤­£¤£ȁ 3¤¯ ± ³¤ ¯¤£¤²³±¨ ­ ¦ ³¤² ²§®´«£ ¡¤ ¨­²³ ««¤£  ³ ³§®²¤ ±¤²¯¤¢³¨µ¤ °´ £± ­³²Ǿ  ­£ «®¶¤±¤£ ²¨¬´«³ ­¤®´²«¸ ¶¨³§ ³§¤ ¤­³± ­¢¤ ¦ ³¤²ȁ B. 6¤§¨¢«¤ 0±¤²¤­¢¤ $¤³¤¢³¨®­  ² ±¤¥¤±¤­¢¤£ ¨­ ³§¤ 0 ±³ ΐ ReportǾ 6¤§¨¢«¤ 0±¤²¤­¢¤ Detection ¨²   ¢±¨³¨¢ « ² ¥¤³¸ ¢®¬¯®­¤­³ ¥®± ³§®²¤ Three-1´ £± ­³  ­£ Four- Quadrant ¦ ³¤£ ¦± £¤ ¢±®²²¨­¦² ¥®± ³± ¨­ ²¯¤¤£² ¡¤³¶¤¤­ ΗΏ-ΐΐΏ -0(. 2¤¢®¬¬¤­£¨­¦ ³§¤ ¨­²³ «« ³¨®­ ®¥   60$ ²¸²³¤¬  «®­¦ ³§¤ &%# 2 ¨«¶ ¸ ¢®±±¨£®± ¨­ "±¤µ ±£  ­£ )­£¨ ­ 2¨µ¤± ¢®´­³¨¤² ¨² ­¤¢¤²² ±¸ ¥®± ³§¤ ² ¬¤ ² ¥¤³¸ ±¤ ²®­²  ² ®´³«¨­¤£ ¨­ ³§¤ 0 ±³ ΐ Report.
