Expand underground utility district to include 8 parcels near Central Avenue

Police & Community SafetyInfrastructurePublic Works

In Plain English

The city created an underground utility district in 2022 to bury power lines on Pierce Street and San Mateo Street. The original boundaries accidentally excluded 8 properties north of Central Avenue that get power from the same overhead lines. If approved, these parcels join the district so all overhead utilities in the area get buried underground.

Why This Vote Matters

The council unanimously approved expanding the boundaries of an underground utility district on Pierce Street and San Mateo Street to include eight additional properties. This administrative change aligns the district with the original project plan and helps complete work related to the Interstate 80/Central Avenue interchange project. The expansion means these eight properties will now be part of the district that requires utilities to be placed underground rather than on poles. This is a routine infrastructure decision with no direct cost to the city.
