Commission says utility issue blocking roundabout should be resolved by Aug. 12
Summary
County engineer and commissioners reported that utility coordination for the East Limestone/Capshaw Road roundabout, delayed by one utility company, was escalated through legislative contacts and the remaining company committed to resolve the issue by Aug. 12, allowing the project to proceed.
Commissioners were told the remaining utility conflict blocking the East Limestone/Capshaw Road roundabout is expected to be resolved by Aug. 12 after the county engaged legislative contacts.
A commissioner reported that engineering has been coordinating with utility companies since last October on relocations needed for the roundabout; one company had not agreed to move its facility. After a member of the county's legislative delegation (referred to as "Mr. Wit") intervened, the commissioner said the utility company called back and committed to resolving the matter by Aug. 12. "I talked to members of our legislative delegation. Mr. Wit made a phone call and within an hour, I had a phone call from the company going, what could they do to solve our problem? And we have a commitment that they will have that resolved by August 12 so we can move forward with the roundabout," the commissioner reported.
The transcript does not specify the utility company or the relocation details; the commissioner credited outside intervention for prompting a commitment to a schedule.
