The city of Sacramento’s Department of Transportation has met its deadline to secure $20 million in federal stimulus money. The funds will be put toward the $60 million cost of constructing new railroad tracks at the downtown depot.
Moving and realigning the railroad tracks 500 ft north will clear the way for the housing, shops, museums and entertainment venues at the railyards being developed by Thomas Enterprises and for future expansion of the depot into a world class regional multi-modal transportation center.
