Eureka Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Eureka

(A) The Council, being of the opinion and having in its judgment decided that the method of construction provided for in this section is necessary, hereby declares and specifies that whenever any railroad tracks of any description exist upon any street in the city which the Council has ordered to be graded and paved with a wearing surface laid on a concrete or other base, the resolution ordering such work, unless the Council shall by resolution have declared to the contrary, shall be deemed to constitute a requirement that the person having such railroad tracks shall improve the portions of the street used by such tracks between the rails and for two feet on each side thereof and between the tracks, if there are more than one, with improvements similar in all respects to, with the same materials, under the same specifications and superintendence, and to the like inspection and satisfaction as the rest of the streets are graded and paved, subject to the following additions which the Council has adjusted and determined to be necessary:

The person having such railroad tracks shall excavate the roadbed of such railroad tracks to a depth not less than six inches of gravel ballast, which gravel ballast shall be thoroughly tamped or rolled to an elevation even with the bottom of the ties, and shall place concrete between and to the full depth of the ties used in such railroad tracks, which concrete shall be of the mixture set forth in the specifications for such work. The concrete shall be brought solidly under the base of the rails and elsewhere shall be brought to a true finish.

('63 Code, § 7-3.201)

(B) The rails used on such railroad tracks shall be of the girder, groove, or T rail type, not less than 4½ inches in height, and shall be securely fastened to railroad ties, which ties shall not be less than six inches by eight inches and eight feet long. The ties shall be made of sound wood and laid not more than 24 inches apart, center to center. The top of the rails of the tracks shall conform to the official grade of the street in which they are laid. All of such work shall be done under the supervision and to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works.

('63 Code, § 7-3.202)
