Section 3. That the work of constructing the underpass will not begin until the City shall have given notice in writing to the Division Superintendents of the Western Pacific at Stockton, Cali- fornia, and the Southern Pacific at Oakland. The notices shall state the time that operations for the construction of the underpass shall begin. The construction of the underpass shall be performed and effected in such a manner as to interfere as little as possible with the safe and timely operation of locomotives, trains and cars of the Railroads over their tracks at the crossing. Section 4. Upon completion of construction, City, at its expense, shall maintain those portions of said underpass structure beneath the bridge seats or bearings, including piles, footings, piers, abutments and bulkheads, and shall maintain all roadway approaches, lighting, drainage, pumping installations, landscaping, and any other street or highway facilities. Railroads, at their expense, shall maintain Railroads' tracks, roadbed, railroad drainage, those portions of the underpass structure above the bottom surface of bridge bearings, and all other Railroad appurte- nances. Section 5. That if Railroads shall deem it necessary or desirable in the future, in the performance of their duties as common carriers, to raise or lower the grade or change the alignment of their tracks, or to lay additional track or tracks, or to build other facilities in connection with the operation of the railroads, they shall have full right to make such changes or additions. 15
