Council might bury all utilities along Jackson School Road, vote is tomorrow

A work session before tomorrow’s City Council meeting will explore whether all utilities along Jackson School Road should be moved underground. There are already extensive plans for improvement along the road, but those designs moved only some utility lines underground.

No public comment is permitted during the work session, which is normal. Residents will have a chance to speak during the City Council meeting, during which there will also be a vote on the issue.

To quote a city release about the potential change:

The Council is scheduled to vote during the 7 pm meeting on whether to underground all utilities in the public right-of-way on the Jackson School Road Project, rather than the project’s current design, which calls for a partial undergrounding of utilities.

We will be live-tweeting both the work session and the City Council meeting, follow us to keep up in realtime.
