The City of Banning was awarded a $4,300,000 Railroad Crossing Elimination (CFDA 20.327) project grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration. The grant will fund preliminary engineering, environmental reviews, and final design work for a future grade separation project at an at-grade railroad crossing in Banning, California. This crossing currently poses significant safety risks for motor vehicles and pedestrians, while also contributing to traffic congestion on local streets and the nearby I-10 highway. The project aims to improve transportation safety and efficiency by eliminating the at-grade crossing through the construction of a grade-separated crossing. The award has a period of performance from May 1, 2024 to February 28, 2030, with the ultimate goal of refining project costs, mapping right-of-way, and identifying utility relocations required for the future grade separation construction.
