Council grants National Grid petition to install new pole on River Street after brief hearing
Summary
National Grid sought permission to install a new utility pole on River Street to relocate a transformer for safety; there were no public comments and the council's public services committee recommended granting the petition.
National Grid representative Michael Cozzatti told the council on Jan. 6 that the utility is petitioning to install a new pole on River Street to move an existing transformer from pole 2981 and to use the vacated pole for a new feeder entrance for safety reasons.
The public hearing on Order 375 had no public comment. Councilors asked where the pole would sit and how long the work would take; Mr. Cozzatti said the pole would be on public property near the sidewalk and the installation would typically be a day’s work.
Decision: the council's Committee on Public Services recommended granting the petition and the council approved the committee recommendation. The order was granted by the council with a unanimous vote recorded by voice.
Ending: National Grid will proceed to schedule the pole installation; the council's approval incorporated the committee review and neighbors' questions were addressed during the hearing.
