By Tim SchmidtRecord Managing EditorA timetable is unknown for a Truesdale street project as the city awaits further discussion with railroad officials.The city, for months, has plans to relocate Market Street to the north and move North Depot Street to the east in an effort to straighten out the road north of the railroad tracks. As part of the proposed work, both streets will be widened.Norfolk Southern Railroad has sent the city a revised agreement that would increase the anticipated project cost by approximately $34,000, officials were informed at the last board of aldermen meeting on Sept. 23.The project was originally estimated to cost around $350,000. More than $200,000 is being allocated from funds the city received through the sale of foreclosed homes as part of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.Truesdale officials are trying to set up a conference call with Mayor Murray Bruer, City Attorney Tim Joyce, and engineers and the railroad to gather more information.Railroad officials had approved an initial agreement when the street project was first proposed, but later balked. Now the project remains on hold and city officials are disappointed no progress is being made despite its efforts to scale down the project.“We will see what happens,” City Administrator/Clerk Mary Lou Rainwater said. “Maybe the city will have to revisit this and will have to put this on hold. That will be up to the board to decide.”The city also has asked engineers with MECO Engineering to provide an updated cost estimate for the project.In other news• A business license was approved for Andy Howard who will be operating a used appliance store at 1040 E.
