Amesbury City Council approves joint pole locations for National Grid and Verizon on Main Street, authorizing installation of poles and wiring while outlining requirements to protect the right-of-way and coordinate with city departments.
The City Council held a hearing on petitions for joint pole locations (No. 30933700) by National Grid and Verizon to place poles, wires, and fixtures along Main Street. The order grants permission to erect and maintain the specified poles on town property (labeled P68-50) and to install associated underground laterals as needed, with construction subject to conditions that protect the public way and coordinate with the Department of Public Works, Water and Sewer, and Dig Safe. The DPW has no significant concerns if the utilities confirm no conflicts with other utilities and comply with right-of-way rules, including keeping poles away from the edge of pavement to allow snow storage and avoiding placement in the paved road or walk.
