The public is invited to join Pasadena Water and Power for a Raymond Undergrounding Project community meeting on Wednesday, May 10 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at Robinson Park Recreation Center, 1081 N. Fair Oaks Avenue. As part of this project, PWP will move overhead utility wires underground on Raymond Avenue between Maple Street and the north City border of Montana Street.

According to Sidney Jackson, General Manager of Water and Power, placing overhead utility lines below City streets, or "undergrounding," helps beautify Pasadena, reduce the number of outages, enhance public safety, and protect our urban forest. a Beautification and reliability have been at the forefront of a multi-Ii year Capital Improvement Program which began in 1968 with the i Underground Utility District Program. Under this initiative, overhead utility systems, including electric cable and telephone communication lines, are relocated underground.

PWP is currently working on engineering designs for Mountain Street (between Lake and Hill Avenues) and Raymond Avenue (Maple Street to no11h City limits) undergrounding projects. Construction is expected to begin in the 2025 fiscal year (beginning July 2025). At the upcoming meeting, engineering staff will provide an overview of the Raymond Avenue project and will be available to answer questions
