The Unified Government Public Works and Safety Committee advanced a resolution tonight that would authorize a survey to place electrical utility lines underground on Leavenworth Road from 38th to 63rd streets.
The resolution would allow the UG’s attorneys to authorize a survey and description of land parcels for the project, and would allow attorneys to draw up an ordinance for eminent domain to complete the acquisition of parcels.
Commissioner Mike Kane voted against the proposal, which passed 5-1. Next it will go to the full UG Commission for approval.
Underground utilities on Leavenworth Road were the subject of some debate at earlier meetings. The project has been approved.
