Emerald Park Access & Railroad Crossing

This project, completed in June of 2018, created a new entry to the Emerald Park soccer and baseball fields and playground, and the Botanic Park, via Hwy 40 next to the Hampton Inn. The Emerald Park Access project was a joint project with the Union Pacific Railroad and is the culmination of several years of discussion, planning and construction. The City contracted with United Companies for construction of the project and the overall project budget was approximately $3 million.  The new access alleviates the high amounts of traffic experienced in this neighborhood, especially during tournaments and busy game times.
