The Public Utility Commission of Texas is scheduled to have its final hearing Feb. 11 regarding the proposed power lines in West Frisco.

The meeting was originally scheduled for Dec. 17.

During the hearing, the commission will consider a recommendation from two administrative law judges that says the power lines should be built overhead along Main Street.

Until the hearing, the city of Frisco will continue working with Brazos Electric, which will be building the lines, to reach an agreement that would have the power lines buried, said Ben Brezina, assistant to the city manager. The meeting being moved to February gives the city more time to reach a settlement, he said.

One of the city’s main arguments for burying the lines is that the transmission poles would prevent the city from widening Main Street in the future. The city has offered to coordinate construction with Brazos when Main Street is eventually under construction.

“We’re confident that a settlement can and will be reached,” Brezina said. “The solution for burying the lines is frankly a win-win scenario with our planned [road] widening and improvements.”
