Council approves pole-relocation ordinance to support future Amtrak layover track
Summary
Radford City Council approved an ordinance authorizing relocation of a city electrical pole and related facilities from Norfolk Southern right-of-way to support a planned Amtrak layover track; the action authorizes terms and conditions for the work.
The Radford City Council approved Ordinance 18-18 authorizing a pole-relocation agreement with Norfolk Southern to move one city-owned electrical pole and associated wires and facilities from the railroad's right-of-way to accommodate a planned Amtrak layover track. City staff told council the relocation is necessary "to support the installation of a layover track in the future for Amtrak." The ordinance authorizes the terms and conditions for the relocation project; council moved, seconded and voted in favor of the ordinance during new-business consideration. The council recorded the vote as an affirmative voice vote. The relocation will require coordination with Norfolk Southern and city utilities staff on schedules and protective measures during construction.
