Gas Company Street Opening Grants of Location

At a glance

What: Docket 273-26 asks that all non-emergency street openings by the gas company for gas infrastructure come before the Council for a Grant of Location. It would revoke DPW's earlier "two-foot rule" observation that let DPW issue street opening permits without a Grant of Location, and DPW permits for gas infrastructure would be posted on the City website.
Where it stands: The Public Facilities Committee approved it 8-0, then on September 22 the Council voted 23-0-1 to recommit it to the Committee.
Next: Back in the Public Facilities Committee; the 180-day date listed is March 7, 2027.

The Public Facilities Committee had approved the item 8-0. Councilor Kalis moved to suspend the rules and refer it back to the Committee; the motion was seconded and the Council recommitted it by voice vote, 23-0-1 (Councilor Dahmubed absent).
