How does this affect you?

For residents living on or near La Peer Drive and Almont Drive, this project will involve construction activities as utility lines are moved underground. This could mean temporary road closures or detours, noise, and dust. However, once completed, the area will have a cleaner look without overhead wires, which can enhance property values and reduce maintenance issues related to overhead lines.
