The Authority approved paying the railroads up to $350,000 to review RiversEdge preliminary engineering plans — a step staff framed as essential to keeping the riverfront park project moving. The work also sets the stage for a memorandum of understanding with both railroads within about a year and connects to long-term hopes for a third train at Union Depot.
