Peachtree Boulevard utilities going down under

The future of the Peachtree in Buckhead just got more beautiful. The Buckhead CID announces plans to move all untilities in Phase I of the transformation underground.

From this week's "The Story":
“We now have agreement. We now have a deal. We are going to start boring and going underground for the remaining utilities along the Peachtree corridor project on Monday,” Greene told the group. “We solved a lot of problems and a million-dollar problem became a $200,000 problem. We had some creative thinkers in the field. So the remaining poles from Maple Drive to the MARTA station in our phase one will be Xed out.”
Buckhead CID Executive Director Scotty Greene also announced the launch of the new Peachtree Boulevard Web site.
"http://www.peachtreeboulevard.comis now operational and people can go to that site and
get weekly construction postings, as well as items to place in neighborhood
newsletters... it is kind of like monitoring a police radio."
