(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Police will be monitoring the pedestrian crossing in Barrington where a high school student was struck and killed by a train two weeks ago.
Police officers will be out during busy times to remind pedestrians to be safe. Village officials says new signs are going up, too, while construction is slated to start later this year on a project to build an underpass where Route 14 meets the Canadian National train tracks.
In a message to residents, the village says it’s asking for help getting additional crossing gates. The federal government will pay for early engineering designs for another underpass near Main and Hough, where 17-year-old Marin Lacson was accidentally hit while crossing the tracks on the way to school on a foggy morning.
