Construction update: Phase 1B meets early checks as Norfolk Southern and National Park Service reviews continue
Summary
Staff reported Phase 1B biweekly meetings, ongoing reviews with Norfolk Southern over right‑of‑way and easement language, National Park Service concerns about ruts in wetland areas, and preparation of the first contractor pay application.
Staff provided a project update on Marquette Greenway Phase 1B, saying the project team has begun biweekly meetings and is tracking several coordination items required before and during construction.
Staff noted Norfolk Southern is reviewing a right‑of‑way approval and an easement offer the town submitted; those reviews are not expected to delay the construction start at present, staff said. The National Park Service joined site visits and raised questions about ruts and wetland restoration in areas within the construction limits; the construction firm FH Passion is reviewing rut depths and will address issues in the restoration stage. The first contractor pay application is being prepared and will be presented to the RDC for review.
Staff offered to add commissioners to the weekly distribution list for construction reports and invited any members who want to be copied on updates to provide email addresses.
Next steps: continue coordination with Norfolk Southern and the National Park Service, complete review of restoration issues, and bring the first pay application to the RDC for approval.
