SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• The existing road right-of-way does not have room to relocate the power lines within the existing right-of-way.
• The relocation of the existing power lines is required for the construction of the Coal Creek Restoration project.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Town of Erie has designed improvements to Coal Creek which include widening and replacing the Coal Creek bridges at County Line Road and Kenosha Road. This work requires United Power to relocate their existing overhead power lines. Due to the larger proposed bridges and increased span between power poles, United Power will be undergrounding portions of their power lines.
To ensure that the new lines are not in conflict with the proposed Coal Creek Restoration improvements, Town Staff and the Town’s design engineer have worked with United power and determined that the best location for the new power lines will be outside of the existing Town right-of-way.
