Roosevelt Avenue, from Hudson Street <br /> to Valota Road, is considered one of the City's prioritized projects. Roosevelt Avenue <br /> from EI Camino Real to Hudson Street was reconstructed and overhead utilities placed <br /> underground during Phase I over ten years ago. It is proposed to include the <br /> undergrounding of the existing overhead utilities on Roosevelt Avenue, from Hudson <br /> Street to Valota Road, as part of the Roosevelt Avenue Reconstruction Project Phase <br /> II. <br /> Engineering & Construction staff have met with Pacific Gas & Electric Company, Pacific <br /> Bell, AT&T (formerly TCI Cablevision), and RCN, regarding the formation of a district, <br /> and to establish the boundaries for said district. There were no objections to forming a <br /> district within this area. RCN has agreed to be the lead carrier, and to complete the <br /> design for the undergrounding portion of the work. <br /> In order to qualify for Underground Utility Funds (Rule 20.A), an underground district <br /> must be established by ordinance to mandate the undergrounding of all overhead <br /> utilities including service drops, and the removal of all wood poles. Pad-mounted <br /> transformers will not be allowed in the proposed district, except under special <br /> circumstances approved by the Community Development Services Department.
