Capital Metro Rail Line Changes in Crestview

Posted by acharlotte on Apr 4, 2018 in Uncategorized | No Comments

In 2014, Capital Metro received an $11.3 million TIGER V grant from the Federal Transportation Administration matched by local funds. This grant project includes the construction of railroad sidings, signals, and systems at four locations, including Crestview Station.

The railroad siding, or second track, will be used for the northbound and southbound Redline commuter trains to pass each other and will allow for an increased frequency of trains.

CapMetro representatives attended the March 12th, 2018 CNA meeting to discuss the recent work that has started on the rail line behind homes on Grover Avenue, Ryan Drive, St. Johns Circle and Wildcat Pass. Following the meeting, CapMetro provided this comprehensive FAQ document addressing questions that arose during the discussion on March 12.

An informative article about the project also appeared in the April 2018 issue of the CNA newsletter.
