NEW HANO'VER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING THE MPO,NCDOT AND CSXT TO COMPLETE A
FEASIBILITY STUDY TO EVALUATE THE RELOCATION OF THE CSXT RAIL LINE
ACROSS THE RIVER VIA A ROUTE THAT ELIMINATES RAIL TRAFFIC THROUGH THE
HEART OF THE CITY OF WILMINGTON AND WHICH WOULD PROVIDE A MORE
DIRECT RAIL ACCESS CORRIDOR TO THE PORT OF WILMINGTON
WHEREAS, the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization provides transportation
planning services for the City of Wilmington, Town of Carolina Beach, Town of Kure Beach, Town of
Wrightsville Beach, Town of Belville, Town of Leland, Town of Navassa, New Hanover County,
Brunswick County, Pender County, Cape Fear Public Transportation Authority and the North Carolina
Board of Transportation; and
WHEREAS, the CSXT rail line originates in Brunswick County, crossing the Cape Fear River into the
City of Wilmington just north of the Isabelle Holmes Bridge. The rail line then continues eastward through
the City before turning south and west again — back toward the river and the Port of Wilmington. The
sweeping path of the rail line thus forms a large "U" (on its side) which, at one time, wrapped around the
eastern limits of the City; and
WHEREAS, today, this same rail line passes through the heart of the City of Wilmington, resulting in
thousands of motor vehicle rail crossings each day and adversely impacting the quiet enjoyment of many
neighborhoods in the city; and
WHEREAS, the City, NCDOT, Wilmington MPO and CSXT are currently working in partnership to
complete a Traffic Separation Study to evaluate 31 roadway rail crossings along the CSXT ACB and
Beltline rail line; and
WHEREAS,the purpose of the Traffic Separation Study is to determine the need for improvements and/or
elimination of public at-grade roadway/railroad crossings to improve safety for motorists, rail passengers
and train crews; and
WHEREAS, a potential alternative solution would be to relocate the existing rail line to a crossing of the
Cape Fear River close to the Port property, thereby eliminating rail traffic through the heart of the city, and
dramatically improving rail access to the Port; and
WHEREAS, the relocation of the rail line would be beneficial to CSXT, the State Ports and the City of
Wilmington by eliminating tens of thousands of at grade vehicular rail crossings on a daily basis,
improving mobility throughout the City of Wilmington, and improving rail operations and safety en route
to the ports; and
1
New Hanover County is committed to progressive public policy, superior service, courteous contact,judicious exercise
of authority,and sound fiscal management to meet the needs and concerns of our citizens today and tomorrow.
Adopted 6/20/2011
WHEREAS,improved rail access to the Ports would also have benefits of Statewide significance, in terms
of economic development of business and industry throughout North Carolina; and
WHEREAS, direct rail access to the ports would also eliminate vehicular/rail conflicts with the proposed
Independence Boulevard Extension project and obviate a primary justification for an elevated highway i
through the heart of Wilmington; and }
WHEREAS, in addition, the proposal would provide an opportunity to convert the existing heavy rail
corridor,with all of its related safety and noise issues, into a quiet transit corridor; and
WHEREAS, such a conversion would improve the quality of life for nearby neighborhoods and all
citizens of Wilmington, as well as reducing traffic congestion on streets within the city; and
i
WHEREAS, such a transit service would stimulate investment in the many vacant and underperforming
properties along the existing rail corridor, particularly on the south side of town; and
WHEREAS,properties adjoining new transit lines in other cities have proven attractive for redevelopment
as residential and mixed use centers; and
WHEREAS, in the interim, the existing converted rail corridor could be utilized as a trail/greenway
linking up with other City trails.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners
hereby encourages the MPO, NCDOT and CSXT to complete a feasibility study to evaluate the relocation
of the CSXT rail line across the river via a route that eliminates rail traffic through the heart of the City
and which would provide a more direct rail access corridor to the Port of Wilmington.
ADOPTED this the 1'day of December, 2014. ...
