(Michigan City, IN) - Could Michigan City back away from the proposed double-track?
A local official doesn’t think so. New mayor Duane Parry has spoken against a double track.
Jim Arnold is a board member for the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District, which
operates the South Shore commuter line. He says Michigan City and other governments committed millions of dollars several years ago to help pay for a double track. Arnold doesn’t believe anyone can back out now because of work contracts and other legal documents
involved in the process being signed.
He says he and another top-ranking official from the railroad will go over the project at the next city council meeting in Michigan City on the 18th of this month.
Arnold said approval of federal funds key to making the project happen could come within the next two weeks.
