1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify an agreement with Norfolk Southern Corporation (Norfolk Southern) relative to the construction of the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - Alum Creek Drive - Frebis to Refugee project.
The aforementioned project consists of various improvements to Alum Creek Drive from Performance Way/Refugee Road South to Frebis Avenue/Integrity Drive South for the purposes of increasing capacity, reducing delays, and improving safety. Planned improvements include pavement reconstruction and widening; addition of new pedestrian and bikeway facilities on each side of the roadway; and installation of new storm sewers; street trees, and street lighting.
