(Chesterton, IN) - The South Shore Line is looking into pedestrian safety, following a tragic death this summer.

On July 25, 22-year-old Grace Bentkowski was struck by a South Shore train and killed at the commuter station near Hammond. Bentkowski was a recent Ball State grad who had just started a career with News Nation out of Chicago.

This week, South Shore announced that it has hired an engineering firm to conduct a thorough study of safety at pedestrian crossings. "We expect to receive the diagnostic report within the next 90 days and are committed to securing the necessary funding to implement safety enhancements as soon as possible," the statement read.

They have already placed additional warning signs at crossing walkways, including the message “See Tracks, Think Train.”
