A RESOLUTION granting conceptual approval to construct, maintain, and operate below-grade private utility lines under and across South Holgate Street, east of Occidental Avenue South and west of 3rd Avenue South; as proposed by the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (“Amtrak”).
Sustainability in Transportation Committee Agenda Item 22 Resolution 318 35 Granting conceptual approval to construct, maintain, operate below grade five utility lines under and across South Holgate Street, east of Occidental Avenue, south and west of Third Avenue South as proposed by the National National Road Passenger Corporation, the committee recommends that the resolution be adopted. Member O'Brien. Q So Amtrak is working on a project that will help make the passenger rail system function better and better for our environment. They're upgrading the facilities to have electrical capacity for the diesel engines to turn off when they're parked there and be plugged in to essentially a version of shore power like we do with the ships. Also updates the systems for treating stormwater and emptying the bathrooms on the trains too. This is in part to accommodate the expansion of passenger rail, including the expansion of sounder rail, which is operated by Amtrak. So this is something that I think is a good thing to move forward. Excellent. Very good. Any questions or comments on this resolution? Okay. Those in favor of adopting the resolution, please vote. I, i. Those opposed vote no. The motion carries. The resolution is adopted in the chair. Will Simon please read items 23 through 25.
