The MPO is now required to complete two impact statements
per proposed route.
After the rail study is completed, the final rail plan will be
chosen.
Parks said that although the word “relocation” is in the title of
the study he does not want residents of Brazos and Burleson
counties to assume that relocating the railroad is the only option.
Charles Sippial Sr., a member of the MPO policy board and
Texas A&M vice president for administration, said the setbacks
make immediate completion of the study impossible.
“The new developments with the Federal Highway
Administration that require us to have a primary and optional
relocation plan with the completed (environmental) studies
might set us back past the current January 2002 time period,”
Sippial said.
Although new situations have arisen throughout the rail study,
Sippial said that is not the only reason for the slow progress.
“As in most issues of this kind with lots of public involve
ment,” Sippial said, “there is a tendency to take a slow route to
make sure all members of the community get a chance to weigh
in on the issues.”
