The commission enters its final order on a petition for closure of the Logen Road grade crossing.

The commission enters its final order on November 30, 2009. In this Order, we grant Burlington Northern Santa Fe’s petition for administrative review and modify the conditions in the Initial Order relating to the order in which the railroad must close the crossing, upgrade the 300th Street NW / Dettling Road crossing and construct the turnaround at Logen Road. We deny the railroad’s petition to reopen the record as unnecessary.
