The public will get a detailed look today at the first draft of recommendations for routing train traffic through Springfield onto an expanded 10th Street corridor.
Implementing the plan would take hundreds of millions of dollars and require the acquisition and demolition of dozens of homes and businesses near the tracks.
The major open question right now is where the money would come from, given tight local, state and federal budgets.
A public meeting on the plan will be held today from 4 to 7 p.m. at the President Lincoln Hotel and Conference Center downtown.
