We want to hear from you! https://hdr.jotform.com/252895847352067 The Rapid City Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (RCAMPO) is seeking the public’s input on the Rapid City Railyard Relocation & Railway Reconfiguration Study. This study examines the feasibility of relocating the current Rapid City, Pierre, and Eastern Railroad (RCP&E) railyard to an alternate location, and thus, potentially reconfiguring transportation infrastructure and access in southeastern Rapid City. The study team is currently reviewing candidate sites for a potential relocated railyard, and we would like your input on how a relocated railyard could impact your community.
