The city of San Mateo receives $23.8M grant to complete grade separation project

The city of San Mateo received $23.8 million from the San Mateo County Transportation Authority in early January to fund the completion of a grade separation project that had extra costs in its final stages.

The Transportation Authority approved the funding at a Jan. 7 meeting. Grade separation entails raising train tracks and lowering the roadway with the benefits of increased safety and less traffic congestion at railroad crossings.
