The City of Melvindale has the authority to grant permits and franchises for telecommunication
systems offering public or private line video, data or voice services using or crossing
a street, highway, rights-of-way or easements in the city. This article is intended
to minimize the disruption to the streets, highways, rights-of-way and easements and
to require those who seek to construct a telecommunication system to cooperate in
the construction and the restoration of streets, highways, rights-of-way and easements
of both overhead and underground lines. The city finds that it has too many unsightly
overhead lines and poles in some sections of the city. They are proliferating, adversely
affecting the public safety, detracting from property values and reaching maximum
safe capacity of poles and underground spaces. The city further finds that public
health, safety and welfare is better served by requiring installation of new utility
lines and wires in underground conduit wherever practical.
