ANN ARBOR, MI – The Federal Railroad Administration has raised concerns about the proposed cost of a new Amtrak station in Ann Arbor, newly released emails show.
The preliminary cost estimate is “an order of magnitude higher than other new intercity passenger rail and multimodal stations for which MDOT was awarded funding to construct by FRA,” the FRA’s Melissa Hatcher wrote in a Nov. 19 email to city and state officials.
