Hi Dan,

I've passed your message along to the Mayor's office. They are working on an answer to your question and I'll let you know as soon as I hear something. Thanks! Jane

Mr. Smith,

The City of Richmond contacted CSX Railroad this past summer to request that the railroad tracks on South L Street be fixed. The City stated in the improvement order that CSX had a deadline to fix the tracks and if it was not repaired in a certain amount of time then the City would make the repairs and bill CSX. In July CSX responded, proposing CSX give the City property in exchange for fixing the tracks. CSX has provided a design that has been approved by the City Engineer. The final overlay to asphalt the street from South 5th to South 8th will occur, to complete the project, this spring.

Dan, I hope this helps. I'm sorry it took so long to respond.

Sincerely,
Shelley Miller

Could you please keep me posted on the correction of this problem? My e-mail address is annie_mxpx@yahoo.com.

Angela,

I'd be more than happy to keep you folks updated on the progress of the railroad tracks on South L Street. As soon as I receive new information on the situation, I'll be sure to post it on here.

Thanks
Shelley
