AI summary · plain-language
This ordinance grants National Grid and Verizon permission to locate and relocate a joint pole on Union Street, near the driveway at Union Street and High Street, to move the pole approximately 10 feet south from its current location. The arrangement is intended to improve driveway access and street safety on a narrow urban street. The order sets conditions for construction, including compliance with the petition plan (Work Request #30837881), height requirements for poles, coordination with the City Department of Public Works and Water/Sewer, advance Dig Safe notifications, and the ability to install underground laterals as needed. It also preserves space for municipal cross-arms and requires utility coordination within the city right-of-way.
