Staff recommends approval of a resolution of intention calling for a public hearing to amend the existing Underground Utility District on East 14th Street from 150th Avenue to Lillian Avenue to include the segment of East 14th Street from Lillian Avenue to Thornton Street/Maud Avenue. BACKGROUND The Underground Utility District Master Plan provides a systematic approach to converting overhead utility systems to underground systems along the City's major arterial streets. Streets that are included in the master plan are prioritized by adoption of a five-year list and then included in an underground district. When an underground district is formed, funding is appropriated then the work is designed. Each utility owner is responsible for the design of its own facilities. A composite plan is created that includes all the underground conduit required for all the facilities and the work is put out to bid.
