Project Description The largest area targeted to underground overhead utility lines lies along San Pedro Avenue going west from Butterfield Boulevard. This project is considerably complicated and available funds are insufficient to complete the project. City staff are assessing options for undergrounding in this area. This assessment will be completed in the FY 2024-25 year. As a separate project, City staff intends to work with PGE to match City Funds with PGE Rule 20A Funds at Old Monterey Road from Llagas Road to Monterey Road in FY2024-25. The City also allocates funds within this project to partner and cost share with developers that are doing underground work , to underground adjacent lines outside a developers required undergrounding limits. This strategy allows for the best pricing for undergrounding utilities.

Project Justification The undergrounding of utilities will improve both the aesthetics and safety along Old Monterey Road and San Pedro Avenue west of Butterfield Boulevard.
