This project will underground the existing aerial electrical distribution and communication lines located within and adjacent to Lincoln Park from West Edith Avenue to Sherman Street. The project will be completed utilizing a combination of Santa Clara County Rule 20A funds, paid directly by PG&E, and the City’s Capital Improvement Project fund. The City is responsible for costs associated with the formation of the underground utility district and other site-specific construction costs not covered by Rule 20A funds. While the formation of the underground utility district will occur in fall 2016, PG&E estimates actual construction of the project will begin in five to seven years. The aerial transmission electrical lines located at the top of several poles are not eligible for use of Rule 20A funds and are not included in the scope of this project.
