Utility Undergrounding Program

DPW collaborates with utility companies in coordinating the effort to move overhead utility wires and poles into underground conduits under sidewalk and street within legislated Underground Districts. The recenty completed underground projects resulted in the undergrounding of about 42 roadway miles. In addition to the overhead removal of utility wires and poles, new streetlights were placed in locations where existing streetlights on utility poles were removed.
