I see what you did there.

And before anyone complains about the poles ruining the historic character of our neighborhoods, the poles are in fact consistent with our prevailing period architecture.

It's a reliability upgrade and will supplement existing infrastructure, not replace it.

Jersey City
Reliability Project Overview:

PSE&G is currently conducting statewide electric reliability improvements to its utility infrastructure. These enhancements will improve both electric service reliability and system redundancy to ensure safe and reliable service to our customers. Throughout the state of New Jersey, PSE&G infrastructure upgrades will reduce the demand on the existing 26kV network. The projects will install 69kV transmission circuits connecting PSE&G stations around the state.

Activity Overview:

? Two new 69kV circuits will be routed through Jersey City originating from the Kearny Switching Station in Kearny, N.J. and ultimately connecting to the Penhorn Substation in Jersey City as well as the Madison Substation in Hoboken.
? Construction of both of these circuits began in the first (1st) quarter of 2018.
? This portion of project will be completed by fourth (4th) quarter 2018.
? PSE&G will work with the necessary county / city police authorities to minimize traffic impacts.

Has anyone checked with Warsaw? They seem to have a lot to say about all things pole-related in Jersey City.

Anyone know the scoop on why we're getting new super-tall utility poles? I noticed some on First St. but figure they might be coming (or already are?) other places as well. they're really significantly taller than the other ones. And will the other ones be removed. Because it'll be really awesome if we get to have double the number of poles now (sarcasm).
