Officials: CSX preliminary engineering agreement advances Lansing Greenway extension
Summary
Village officials said CSX has issued a preliminary engineering agreement for the Lansing Greenway Extension; Village staff reported a $18,700 cost for the Wentworth CSX crossing, $5,000 of which Lansing has already paid.
Administrator Podgorski introduced John Wilson to update trustees on the Lansing Greenway Extension during the April 21 Committee of the Whole. Wilson said CSX has begun its review and issued a preliminary engineering agreement; after CSX completes that step the Village can expect a construction agreement. The Greenway extension is intended to close a gap in the Grand Illinois Trail, American Discovery Trail and the Great American Rail Trail that runs through Lansing.
Podgorski gave a specific cost figure for the Wentworth Avenue CSX crossing: he said the total cost is $18,700, of which the Village already paid $5,000, leaving $13,700 outstanding for the CSX review stage. Trustee Zeldenrust asked whether the crossing would include separate gates; Jeff Pintar of Robinson Engineering confirmed there will be gates to enhance safety. No construction contract was approved at the meeting; trustees were updated on next procedural steps.
