Crestmoor Neighborhood Reconstruction Project
Undergrounding of Overhead Utilities• Some residents expressed early interest• City undertook a feasibility study focused on logistics and cost • City agreed to present results of study to public• Summary of advantages & disadvantages
Crestmoor Neighborhood Reconstruction Project
Advantages of Undergrounding• Aesthetics• Could eliminate the need for the PUE and need for utilities to access rear yards• Eliminate possibility of downed lines during storms resulting in better safety and more reliable service
Crestmoor Neighborhood Reconstruction Project
Disadvantages of Undergrounding• Some of the lines are major transmission & distribution lines • Physical disruption to residents• Trading poles for vaults/boxes in yards• Cost (~$11.5 million)• Long design & approval process (~1 year)• Requires trenching on private property & side yards• Surface restoration of landscape and hardscape
