The city of Burlingame might be getting $70 million from the state to help build new railroad crossing infrastructure at Broadway, a budget item that was previously cut.
At issue is what's called a grade separation, which is a road that goes over or runs under a railway to avoid hazards. On Wednesday, the California State Legislature agreed on a revision that puts the project back in the state's budget. The Burlingame project is one of seven selected by the California State Transportation Agency for transit improvements.
Becker held a press conference at the Broadway intersection Tuesday, calling it the most dangerous train crossing in California, and calling on the legislature to restore over $100 million to fund the three city projects.In a statement Wednesday, Becker said the City of Burlingame has already committed $2 million for the Broadway project, with a potential addition of another $15 million, and the San Mateo County Transit Authority has committed $180 million.
