PURPOSE:
The purpose of this ordinance is to supplement existing project funds for the relocation of existing Duke Energy facilities for the proposed Pine Grove Drive and Greenville Loop Road Roundabout Project (“Project”).
BACKGROUND:
The Project (2TRST1567) is part of the City’s Transportation Bond Program. The Project extends approximately 0.7 miles along Pine Grove Drive, and includes the addition of a two-lane roundabout at the intersection of Pine Grove Drive and Greenville Loop Road, widening Pine Grove Drive to three lanes between Greenville Loop Road and Beasley Road, the addition of a multi-use path, and upgraded traffic signals at the Holly Tree Road and Beasley Road intersections.
During the design of the Project, the existing infrastructure in the project area was evaluated. A significant amount of the Duke Energy-owned utility poles are in conflict with the proposed improvements, primarily due to the widening of Pine Grove Drive. It was confirmed that Duke Energy has prior rights in this area, and therefore, the City will bear all costs associated with relocating Duke’s facilities because of the City’s project.
