Presently EWEB crews install most of the necessary underground electric and water facilities as <br /> well as the telephone and cable TV ducts when a common trench is used. EWEB is transitioning <br /> to a process where the contractor has the choice as to whether or not they want to do the <br /> underground utility installation. <br /> * *INSERT PHOTO ** <br /> Trenching is the method commonly used to lay utility lines; boring can sometimes be a cost - <br /> effective altemative that reduces damage to mature landscaping when only a single utility needs <br /> to be installed or when repairing damaged lines. <br /> Recommendations: <br /> 1. Amend Design Standards for Eugene Streets. Sidewalks. Bikeways and Accessways to <br /> include standards for placement of utilities beneath sidewalks. <br /> 2. Encourage EWEB and the City of Eugene Public Works Department to coordinate on <br /> developing a process for geographic system mapping that would result in using a <br /> common map for subdivision reviews. <br /> r <br /> I 9 <br />
