you sure the phone company, gas company or power company isn't selling them an easement using their existing easement they have on the land. Some of the proposed easements I've been handed trying to get a signature lately allow the easement to be extended/sold to others seeking an easement within the easement they are buying. Solar and wind farms don't just get a lease for the land they need for the installations they are working on, they get a lease on the entire farm, even when they are only using 10 acres of 200 acres, those easements are likely to carry significant value in the future.
If they were piggybacking, they would have told me that.
Plus, they keep switching sides of the road. Power poles and phone on one side and then Spectrum is on the other side... for a while and then the cross back over. In some places they are on both sides of the road. And installing boxes in the ground at every pole,,, when they are on that side,,, and in every 100' when on the other side of the road. And then they go up a pole and go overhead for a while before going back in the ground. What a mess! Makes no sense to me. |
Update to Spectrum wanting to lay cable in road ROW
