Council committee approves three National Grid underground service petitions for Lynn streets
Summary
The Lynn utilities committee on June 23 approved National Grid petitions to install underground conduit and service for projects on Western Avenue, Essex Street and Commercial Street, including a transformer to serve a new kindergarten building at 535 Western Ave.
The Lynn utilities committee unanimously approved three National Grid petitions June 23 to install private underground service conduits and related equipment at locations across the city.
A company representative said the Western Avenue petition would install roughly 10 feet of conduit from pole 15‑0 and a riser to a pad‑mounted transformer to supply a new kindergarten at 535 Western Ave; work is expected to be scheduled in four to six weeks with sidewalk repairs taking two to three days. A second petition to serve a new residential building at 119 Essex St. was also approved. The committee approved a third petition to install conduit to a property at 137 Commercial St. to energize athletic‑field lighting; members asked National Grid to coordinate the final pole setting and confirm existing underground connections before energizing lights.
Committee members recorded roll‑call votes approving each petition and asked staff to coordinate traffic control, police detail where needed, and sidewalk restoration after trenching.
