Select Board unanimously approves Eversource pole work for Stratton Street Safe Routes project
Summary
At a July 9 meeting the Arlington Select Board granted Eversource permission to add one pole and relocate two poles on Hemlock Street to supply electric service for the Stratton Street improvement, part of a Mass DOT Safe Routes to School project; no members of the public spoke during the hearing.
Jacqueline Duffy, an Eversource Energy representative, told the Arlington Select Board on July 9 that the company plans to install approximately one new pole and relocate two existing poles on Hemlock Street to provide electric service for the Stratton Street improvement, which she described as a Mass DOT Safe Routes to School project.
The board opened a public hearing on the petition and, after brief discussion and no public comment, moved to approve the work. Select Board member Missus Mahan moved approval; the motion was seconded and carried by a unanimous roll-call vote.
Duffy summarized the scope: "We'd like to install approximately 1 new pole and relocate 2 existing poles. This is to provide electric service to the Stratton Street improvement." The board did not record any conditions or public objections during the hearing.
The approval allows Eversource to proceed with the pole additions and relocations as described in its petition. The board did not detail construction timing at the meeting.
