State regulators have approved nearly $20,000 in grant funding to improve safety at Sunset Junction, just west of downtown Spokane. The Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) is using the funds to buy 470 feet of tamper-resistant fencing, which BNSF crews will install at three high-risk trespassing spots. By closing these access points, the project aims to prevent unauthorized track crossings, helping to reduce train delays, injuries, and fatalities.
