Subject: Hills Ferry Road Railroad Crossing

Mayor and Members of the Board:

The Community Development Division has a pending grant application submitted to the Land
and Water conservation fund to improve the Greeley Park boat ramp and parking area) A
portion of Greeley Park which includes the boat ramp and only public access to the Merrimack
River in Nashua is accessed by Hills Ferry Road which crosses the Pan Am Railways track. The
pending grant is conditioned on the City being able to demonstrate that public access is available
to the ramp by way of this railroad crossing. Previous funding made available by NH Fish and
Game to improve the boat ramp was withdrawn because the City could not demonstrate that the
railroad crossing was public. In order to allow for such demonstration the City has brought a
petition before the New Hampshire Department of Transportation seeking a declaration that this
is a public crossing or alternatively to alter its status to a public crossing. One of the issues will
be the extent to which the City will be required to upgrade the existing safety measures (now
consisting of a sign reading “Railroad Crossing”) and maintain them going forward.

Attached please find a proposed settlement of that administrative proceeding which attempts to
limit the City’s current and future responsibility for such upgraded safety measures albeit still
potentially requiring future upgrades under certain circumstances.

I respectfully request your authorization of the proposed settlement.

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

City of Nashua v. Pan Am Railways, Inc.
Docket # 2016-07

ORDER

By agreement of the parties the Commissioner orders as follows:

1. The grade crossing located at Hills Ferry Road is Nashua, New Hampshire is determined
to be a public crossing.

2. No safety or other upgrades to the crossing are necessary at this time.

3. It is anticipated by the parties that if passenger rail is ever instituted over this rail line,
any needed upgrade to the Hills Ferry Road crossing will be handled and expenses borne
in the same manner as upgrades to the rail line and to other crossings. Otherwise, if
upgrades became necessary in the future due to increased rail, automotive, or pedestrian
traffic or due to changes in the nature of such traffic, and the expense of such upgrades
are not to be borne by whatever third parties contributed to such need, then Nashua shall
be responsible for the provision of such upgrades and Pan Am shall be responsible for the
costs of maintenance of such upgrades thereafter.

So ordered.
