Comment EI-20629
Received or sent (printed as 11/25/2014)
The attached letter from 2011 with our comments was included in the original CSX draft environmental document submittal to STB. We never heard a response to the concerns raised in this letter, so I am resubmitting these comments during the request for additional comments. The concerns raised in the attached letter from 2011 are still relevant to this environmental review process. Additionally, we would request that STB give serious consideration to the concerns raised by the cities and towns along this line, especially those cities and towns that lie withing Johnson County. The City of Greenwood in particular has raised concerns about traffic flow restrictions, safety at rail/road intersections, and noise concerns related to increased use of this rail line. Rail transportation is an important part of our country's freight movement. While considering the request CSX has made, please keep in mind the impact that increased train traffic has on communities impacted by this request, particularly road safety concerns and nuisance impacts on residents.
