Mayor Turner is joining the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Administrator Amit Bose to announce the city’s Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant award of $36.9 million, the largest allocation in the state of Texas.
– Houston will get nearly $37 million from the federal government to get rid of railroad crossings, which is the largest allocation awarded across the state of Texas.
In Houston, the money will help create underpasses at the intersections of North Sampson Street and North York Street, as well as Hutchins Street and Commerce Street. “The new underpasses will mean there’s no possibility of collisions between trains and vehicles and no waiting times for a train to pass. That means safer travel for drivers lots of time back in people’s daily lives, faster response time for emergency responders, and a higher quality of life,” Federal Railroad Administrator Amit Bose said during the news conference on Wednesday.
