Council approves Verizon and Narragansett permits for Ironwood Drive and Narrow Lane
Summary
The Coventry council granted permission for Verizon New England to install underground conduits on Ironwood Drive and for Narragansett Electric and Verizon to place poles on Narrow Lane; both items passed by council voice votes with little discussion.
The council approved two utility-permitting items with brief discussion and voice votes.
Item A authorized Verizon New England to lay underground conduits, buried cables, manholes and related fixtures on Ironwood Drive; the petition for the work was included in the council packet and the motion carried on a council voice vote. Council members discussed standard conditions (paving/repair responsibility and timing) and staff confirmed that installation details and customer notifications are part of the permit process.
Item B gave Narragansett Electric and Verizon permission to locate and maintain utility poles on Narrow Lane to serve a new customer. Councilors approved the petition after confirming that the companies would follow existing standards for restoration and permitting.
Both motions carried without recorded roll call; the president declared the motions approved.
