WTS Charlotte Metro Lunch and Learn - Supporting Columbia's Growth with the Assembly Street Railroad
The WTS Charlotte Metro Chapter is pleased to host Katie Curry, AICP and Joe Olson, PE, who will be presenting on the Assembly Street Railroad Separation Project in Columbia, SC, on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. Despite the project's importance, it has faced significant challenges preventing final design and construction including stakeholder fatigue, project champion transitions and funding difficulties. STV has developed innovative engineering designs to consolidate and eliminate the existing freight rail/roadway at-grade crossings through the densely developed downtown Columbia project area.
This event will be hosted on the Northeastern University-Charlotte campus located directly on the train line (Blue Line) in South End. More details on how to get to the event are provided below. Registration and networking will begin at 11:30am with the lunch program running from 12:00pm to 1:00pm. Lunch will be provided with registration. Please RSVP by Monday, December 9th.
Engineers attending this program could earn 1.0 Professional Development Hours. WTS Charlotte Metro is working with APA to qualify this activity for Certification Maintenance (CM) credit. More information about ACIP's CM program can be found at www.planning.org/cm
