Houston19514 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) The visible, unburied powerlines?  Maybe all the development will warrant improvements that include wire burying. This area is pretty much open territory. Lots of room for improvement The power lines are already all buried in that area. Any visible lines are either construction-related or the power system for the Metro rail lines.

cspwal Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 The power lines are already all buried in that area. Any visible lines are either construction-related or the power system for the Metro rail lines. The picture these were replying to was taken from south downtown, near St Joseph (what looked like the grass field for 1811 San Jacinto.  There are still unburied utility lines there, either power or telephone or both.  I'm sure as those blocks get developed more the lines will go underground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those lines were temporary or construction related. All were regular utility lines. Yeah, like I said earlier as this area goes up , I am sure the lines will go down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
