The Federal Railroad Administration awarded the City of Wauwatosa $1.25 million on October 1, 2025, under the Railroad Crossing Elimination program (CFDA 20.327) to conduct project development activities for grade separating Walnut Road from Union Pacific tracks in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.

The award funds preliminary engineering and design disciplines to determine detailed estimates of risks, costs, benefits, and impacts of the grade separation. Deliverables include a project management plan, final performance report, project planning package, final NEPA document, and preliminary engineering design set. The City of Wauwatosa is the recipient. Work is performed in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, with a period of performance through January 31, 2028.

The Railroad Crossing Elimination program supports grade separation, track relocation, protective device installation, and related planning, environmental review, and design activities at highway-rail and pathway-rail grade crossings. The program prioritizes projects that improve safety, grade separate or close crossings, enhance mobility of people and goods, reduce emissions and environmental impacts, improve emergency service access, generate economic benefits, and improve access to communities separated by rail.
