NewsLanc and TRAACCC want a public study of alternate locations for the railyard relocation?
Who pays for this, taxpayers in general? And since the railroad has already said that none of the proposed alternatives are viable, what happens if the taxpayers pay for the study and the railroad reiterates this conclusion?
TRAACCC simply doesn’t want to acknowledge that none of the other sites will work, something that Norfolk Southern has already said. The railroad has immense authority and isn’t going to take anything less than it needs. That means the choice is already one between the current site, already zoned commercial, or no relocation at all. Is NewsLanc, and TRAACCC, really willing to kill a project that most everone involved agrees would be good for the city because NIMBY takes precedence?
