project, all utility companies are required to relocate at their own expense, but since this was a standalone <br /> trail project,the Cities would have had to pay to relocate the utility poles. <br /> I hear from residents citywide who want more trails through the City, who want improved or more <br /> lighting. Conversely I generally don't hear about improved landscaping / streetscaping along roadways <br /> and the only time I hear about utility burial is after big storm events where residents lose power. <br /> Therefore,based on what I hear from residents I would prioritize the categories as follows: <br /> 1. Sidewalks/trails <br /> 2. Street Lighting <br /> 3. Streetscape (Landscaping) <br /> 4. Utility Burial <br /> My recommendation would be to utilize the matching funds to install the sidewalks, trails, and additional <br /> street lighting. In my opinion, these are the items I hear from residents are wanted and needed in Orono. <br /> While the streetscaping and utility burial has added benefit to the community, I have not heard these are <br /> priorities from the residents. <br /> 2 <br />
