§ 1207. Railroad crossings - procedure, notice.

Whenever the Mayor or his designee ("Mayor") shall determine that it is necessary that a watchman, flagman, automatic signal, gate or other device for warning the public against danger at railroad crossings is necessary for the protection of the public where any street crosses a railroad track or tracks, then the Mayor shall authorize the City Attorney to notify in writing the owner or operator of such railroad that the Mayor is of the opinion that proper steps should be taken to safeguard the public by requiring that such precautionary measures be taken. Such notice shall provide for and set a date for hearing before the Mayor and shall designate the streets and crossings where such precautionary devices shall be maintained and their nature. Such notice shall be delivered to such person, firm or corporation at least ten (10) days prior to the date set by the Mayor for a hearing. Such notice may be served upon any officer, agent or employee of any such person, firm or corporation upon whom service of summons may be made under the provisions of the laws of the state of Oklahoma and service by mail shall be deemed prima facie good service.
