WE ARE WARRIOR STRONG

Residents, As we continue to move forward with solutions to the train crossings, such as the grade separation on Allen Road, we know that finding tools to assist with the blockages right now is important.

We are happy to announce that an app for your phone or tablet that will allow you to view the train crossings on Allen, King, and Van Horn roads in real time is now available to you. You can find this app in both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store by searching Woodhaven Train Crossing or by the QR code shown above.

We understand that this app is not the solution to our train-crossing problem in the community, but a tool to assist our residents and visitors in navigating around the blockages. We hope you find this app helpful in some way.

As always, we want the residents of Woodhaven to live, work and play in a community that is keeping their quality of life a priority. We will continue to work to solve the train issues this community faces one-step at a time.
