UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING - REDHILL AVENUE FROM SYCAMORE AVENUE TO
WALNUT AVENUE (INFORMATIONAL REPORT)
Several months ago, the City Council requested staff to investigate the
feasibility of implementing an Edison Company Rule 20A Utility Underground
District on Redhill Avenue between Sycamore Avenue and Walnut Avenue and points
northerly depending upon available funding. An amount of $174,000.00 has
currently been accumulated in the City of Tustin Rule 20A account. Rule 20A
funding is 100% Edison Company cost.
Staff has received a verbal reply from the Edison Company in which they recommend
against the undergrounding of the facilities along Redhill Avenue at this time.
It appears that this recommendation is based upon the economics of the project
where the cost per foot of undergrounding is extensive due to the facilities that
would be required and the revamping of the adjacent/remaining overhead systems.
In lieu of the Redhill project, staff is currently investigating the following
project with the Edison Company staff.
° Undergrounding along Newport Ave. (both sides) from northerly of
Bryan Avenue to Wass Street.
This project would tie into the two previous projects completed by both the County
of Orange and the City and will provide underground utilities along Newport Avenue
between the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) and. Seventeenth St. Additionally, this
Newport Avenue project would tie into the joint undergrounding effort by the
developer, Burnett-Ehltne, and the Redevelopment Agency along both Irvine Blvd.
between Holt Ave. and Newport Ave., and Holt Ave. between Irvine Blvd. and Newport
Ave.
Depending upon the outcome of the cost estimates for this work along Newport
Ave., staff will be presenting an action item in the future to revise the Rule 20A
funding from Redhill Ave. to Newport Ave. No action is required by the City
Council at this time.
