We can change colors via a website which is super neat. But we did not underground the power poles (utility poles, cable lines, etc.). We wanted the power lines off the street because they look ugly but that is what was so expensive to actually underground the power poles and would be a cost to businesses. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Shannen<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>President<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Historic Willamette Main Street<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.historicwillamette.com"><span style='color:#0563C1'>www.historicwillamette.com</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>503-349-0015<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> OMS_MANAGERS <oms_managers-bounces@listsmart.osl.state.or.us> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Liz Hannum<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, February 26, 2020 4:34 PM<br><b>To:</b> Oregon Main Street program managers <oms_managers@listsmart.osl.state.or.us><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [OMS_MANAGERS] Creating a Historic District<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Just going to get up on my soap box for a minute - I wasn't around when they did the streetscape renovation in 2012, but I desperately wish they had run electrical underground and to the treewells. It would make events and projects so much easier to manage if there was consistent power. We also have tree lights year round which cost $15-20k annually to maintain and it's a project that honestly probably shouldn't have happened without that power. Now we spend thousand a year and have no reliable power, gfi switch problems, wires hanging off roofs, etc. It's a major regret that the City didn't spend the money to do it at the time when they ripped up the streets. If you have the money and opportunity and political willpower to do it, I highly recommend it. It would save us thousands of dollars and hundreds of man hours. EVERY YEAR... ok, off my soap box now. <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Wed, Feb 26, 2020 at 4:15 PM <<a href="mailto:president@historicwillamette.com">president@historicwillamette.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>We are in the middle of the streetscape right now.
