Title
Regional Utilities Committee (RUC) Outstanding Referral #050791 - Undergrounding Utilities in the Fifth Avenue Pleasant Street CRA Area (NB)
Explanation
At the December 19, 2005 meeting of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) members heard concerns from the Fifth Avenue Pleasant Street Advisory Board regarding undergrounding on the NW 5th Avenue streetscape and model block. At the request of the CRA, the City Commission referred the issue of underground utilities and funding on these projects to the RUC for a report. On July 6, 2006 the RUC heard a report on the utility's streetscape partnership with the CRA and a discussion of the model block area. The presentation included a progress report on NW 5th Avenue projects and a report on the model block utilities issues from GRU and CRA staff. The RUC heard that funding for undergrounding in FAPS is shared by GRU and the CRA, with the CRA funding civil infrastructure and lighting and GRU funding electrical infrastructure, offsite integration and utilities relocations. The RUC heard that significant progress has been made on the initial phases of the NW 5th Avenue undergrounding and that the model block utilities issues have been appropriately resolved.
Recommendations
