This project will not affect emergency responses. We will adjust and deploy our resources accordingly.
The federal government regulates railroads. Local units of government (including Van Buren Township) do not have authority over issues concerning trains/crossings.
To contact Norfolk Southern with questions or concerns, they can be reached at 800-453-2530.
The Public Safety Department will continue to communicate with Norfolk Southern in an effort to provide our residents with as much information as possible regarding possible closings. Any information/changes we receive will be disseminated to the public as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience with this project.
