Council approves BNSF contract for Clementa Avenue crossing
Summary
The council approved a contract with BNSF Railway to perform work at the Clementa Avenue crossing, with the city noting a $48,000 capital cost and an expected six-week lead time after the contract is sent to BNSF.
The City of Montrose council voted to approve a formal contract with BNSF Railway for work at the Clementa Avenue crossing, authorizing resolution 2026-09 at the March 9 meeting.
City staff explained the agreement will cost about $48,000 and that payment will come from the city’s capital account. Staff said that once the contract is returned and payment is made, BNSF would finalize design and aim for roughly a six-week window to schedule the work. Council discussed preparing to pay for paving associated with the crossing work and asked staff to gather quotes so a blanket amount could be authorized in April to allow rapid response when BNSF schedules work.
The motion to approve the contract passed on a 4-0 vote.
