Utilities committee approves National Grid underground conduit to serve new Neptune Boulevard apartments
Summary
The Lynn Utilities Committee voted to approve several National Grid petitions Aug. 4, including about 185 feet of underground conduit to serve a new apartment at 21–27 Neptune Blvd. National Grid representatives said streets and sidewalks will be restored "in kind."
The Utilities Committee voted to approve National Grid’s petition to install roughly 185 feet of underground 2x4-inch PVC conduit to provide permanent service to a new apartment building at 21–27 Neptune Boulevard.
Jose Luis Isertia, speaking for the applicant, described the request as a customer-driven project to provide an underground permanent service. Property owner Manuel Robles identified himself at the podium and said he spoke in favor of the installation. When Councillor Hogan noted the roadway and sidewalks had been recently repaved, Isertia replied, "We'll restore it in kind," and the company agreed to coordinate restoration.
Committee members asked National Grid to time the work to avoid damaging recently completed paving. A motion to approve carried by voice vote. The committee took similar action on separate National Grid petitions affecting Maple Seed Street, Oxford Street and Hansen Street, where councilors asked that conduit work be completed before scheduled repaving where possible.
