Updates on (1) Figarden/BNSF At Grade RR Crossing; (2) West Belmont Grade Separation; (3) August’s Capital Projects Summary. (Public Works Departments)

Summary

The July 2026 Public Works Capital Projects Summary outlines transportation, street, trail, safety, and neighborhood improvements across Fresno districts. Projects range from design and right-of-way acquisition to bidding and construction. Major efforts include road widening and resurfacing, complete-street and sidewalk projects, adaptive traffic signals, railroad grade separations, bike and pedestrian facilities, and the Pave More Now program. Funding varies: some projects are approved or programmed for fiscal years 2027–2028, while others remain unfunded or await Council authorization. Construction is anticipated from summer 2026 through 2029. Progress is often dependent on property acquisition, utility relocations, environmental review, railroad coordination, developers, and agency approvals. The summary informs residents about project status, expected timelines, funding, and potential transportation changes throughout Fresno.
