City announces $25.2 million federal grant to study and advance railroad crossing elimination
Summary
City staff reported a $25.2 million federal Railroad Crossing Elimination grant award to Dixon, with design nearly complete and construction targeted by late 2025. Engineering and environmental work are nearly at 95% drawings stage; the city already has matching funds committed.
At the Jan. 14 meeting staff announced that Dixon City has been awarded $25,200,000 through the federal Railroad Crossing Elimination Program to advance a major crossing-elimination project.
Staff said engineering and environmental work are at or near 95% complete and that the city has set aside matching funds and other local contributions. The project team has been finalizing design specifications in response to railroad comments; staff expects the project to be shovel-ready and anticipated construction to begin late 2025 with a two-year construction window.
City staff credited congressional and regional partners for support of the grant application and advised that more design work and procurement steps are underway. The announcement did not include a detailed construction schedule or final contractor selection; staff said more information will be provided as the engineering and procurement processes move forward.
