Requesting the Department of Transportation to coordinate with utility providers to develop a plan for addressing aging utility poles and lines along.

The bill requests the Department of Transportation to work with utility providers to create a plan for fixing or removing old utility poles and lines along high-risk highways like Farrington Highway. This plan will assess the current state of the infrastructure, prioritize areas based on risk, and establish a schedule for repairs or removals. The Department will also identify funding sources and check if current laws clearly define maintenance responsibilities for these utilities. A report on these findings will be submitted to the Legislature.
