Railroad policy discourages new at-grade crossing for second entrance to baseball fields
It looks like the Harvey Redmond Bridge, and its planned replacement, will remain the only access point to the Kramer Ball Fields. Kent City Manager Dave Ruller wrote on his blog Kent360.com recently that the city is unable to add a second entrance to the baseball fields.
