Summary: Supports environmental review and preliminary engineering for grade separations and a pedestrian underpass in Morgan Hill, CA to improve rail and emergency response safety.
Description
This opportunity provides funding for the environmental review and preliminary engineering (approximately 30% designs) for grade separations at E. Dunne and Tennant Avenue, as well as a pedestrian underpass at the Morgan Hill Downtown Station in Morgan Hill, California. The project is part of the broader California High Speed Rail (HSR) initiative, which aims to connect major regions of California at high speeds using existing rail corridors. The current at-grade crossings in Morgan Hill impede emergency response times and create safety challenges. Grade separation of these crossings is intended to facilitate safer and faster emergency vehicle access and improve community safety as rail traffic increases.
