DIXON, CA (MPG) - The city of Dixon recently provided representatives from U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla’s office with a tour of infrastructure projects and other community priorities as officials seek additional partnerships and funding for future improvements.

City officials used the visit to highlight projects already funded and moving forward, as well as several proposed projects that still require additional financing.

Among the largest funded projects is the Parkway Boulevard overpass, which will extend the roadway over the Union Pacific railroad tracks to address transportation and safety concerns. The project is estimated to cost $31.5 million, including a $25.2 million federal grant, with the remaining funding coming from local development transportation fees.

Construction on the overpass is expected to begin in early 2027, with completion anticipated in 2029.

The city is also moving forward with Fire Station 82, a planned 7,504-square-foot secondary fire station in southwest Dixon. The $9.9 million project is intended to improve emergency response times and will be funded through development impact fees and bonds. Completion is expected in summer 2028.

Another funded project will expand the Dixon Police Department facility. Plans call for a 3,503-square-foot second-story addition, structural reinforcement and upgrades throughout the building. The project is estimated to cost $5.6 million and is expected to be completed in summer 2027.

City officials also identified several projects that remain partially funded or unfunded.

One priority involves upgrades to groundwater wells to meet California regulations for hexavalent chromium. The estimated $12 million project is currently in the design and testing phase, with state compliance required by October 2027.

The city is also planning an expansion of its wastewater treatment facility that would increase capacity by 1 million gallons per day. The project is estimated to cost $47 million, with approximately $20 million secured so far.

Additional long-term priorities include transitioning Dixon’s municipal fleet to alternative energy vehicles and developing the charging or fueling infrastructure needed to support them. The project is estimated to cost between $4 million and $4.3 million and remains in the conceptual stage.

Officials are also considering improvements to Fire Station 81, including replacement of a 30-year-old dispatch alerting system and renovations to dormitory and administrative areas. Preliminary estimates range from $3.16 million to $6.16 million.

Plans for City Hall include renovating and potentially expanding the building, which dates to 1981. The project is intended to accommodate current staffing levels and consolidate employees and services that are housed in trailers and other locations. A space needs assessment is still being developed.

The city is also pursuing transportation and corridor planning efforts, including a State Route 113 realignment study, safety improvements along the West A Street corridor and a downtown-focused specific plan. Those efforts remain in the preliminary design and study stages.

City officials said partnerships with regional, state and federal agencies could play a role in helping Dixon secure funding for projects that have not yet been fully financed.
