When work ended on the spur in 2017, rights of way spanning the entire planned line had been purchased, and large sections of rail bed embankment and bridges had been completed. “There are essentially three options that we have discussed,” Borough Manager Mike Brown said at Tuesday’s meeting. “Number one, complete the rail project estimated at $200 million; option two, convert to a road estimated at $70 million; or option three, continue to do nothing. To be clear, the only option I’m opposed to is option three.
“This is one piece of a much larger puzzle of development in the area,” she said. “In a case like this, we want to follow the borough assembly’s decision in this process and be able to adjust the state needs.”Shifting to a road is seen by the borough as a way to rescue the aging infrastructure at Port MacKenzie from total waste, Brown said.
