BURLINGAME, Calif. (KGO) -- Leaders are calling a Burlingame railroad crossing at Broadway and California the most dangerous in the state and they want funding secured to improve it.
Caltrain tells ABC7 there have been 13 collisions there since 2016. Two of them have been deadly.
California State Senator Josh Becker (D - Menlo Park) and Burlingame leaders gathered at the crossing Tuesday with a plea for Governor Gavin Newsom.
They want money to improve safety at railroad crossings put back in the governor's proposed budget.
Newsom issued a revised May budget proposal for 2024-2025, with numerous cuts.
His office has said the revision would ensure the budget is balanced over the next two fiscal years, tighten the belt and stabilize spending after the pandemic.
"To the rest of the leaders and to the governor, please put that money back in," Senator Becker said. "We need that money to leverage this funding and go forward."
