Clear brush blocking a driver's sightline at the rail crossing, approach 2 -- the BNSF at-grade crossing on Main Street, Watford City, ND 58854

Overgrown brush at this active BNSF at-grade crossing blocks a driver's clear sightline down the track in the direction of oncoming Bakken oil-unit trains -- the hazard survey flagged it and named this the trained crew's follow-on job to actually cut the sightline back to FRA/AAR clearance. Standard: FRA/AAR at-grade rail-crossing sightline clearance practice; SDG 11.2 (transport safety) Proof: county-road-department/railroad coordination record + before/after photos + sightline-distance measurement + flagging/PPE confirm + GPS Method (Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged), ~30-60 min): 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard. 2. Photograph each hazard. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical). 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility). 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign. Equipment: GPS phone, camera, hi-vis vest, severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical) Done when: Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint; Severity tag assigned per hazard; Hazard type classified; Named handoff target per hazard

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
