Council defers CSX bridge replacement engineering agreement to planning commission
Summary
Councilmember Benedict moved and the council voted to defer a resolution approving a preliminary engineering agreement between CSX Transportation and the Metropolitan Government to facilitate a bridge replacement over CSX rail at West Due West Avenue so the item can be reviewed by the planning commission.
The Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County Council voted to defer for one meeting a resolution (RS 20 25 11 23) that would approve a preliminary engineering agreement between CSX Transportation and the metropolitan government for a bridge replacement over CSX rail at West Due West Avenue.
Councilmember Benedict put the motion on the floor: "I've moved to defer 1 meeting." Benedict explained the reason for the deferral on the record: "The reason for the deferral is that it needs to go over to the planning commission and it hasn't done that yet." The motion to defer was moved and properly seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records no roll-call tally.
The resolution's caption describes a preliminary engineering agreement between CSX Transportation, a Virginia corporation with principal offices in Jacksonville, Florida, and the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County to facilitate bridge replacement at the specified crossing. No additional details about schedule, cost, or required approvals were provided in the transcript beyond the stated need to route the item to the planning commission for review.
The item will return to a future council meeting after the planning commission has considered it.
