Utility ‘spaghetti’ delays Central Ave. development

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Delays in removing old utilities are pushing back the construction timetable for the first phase of The Highlands, according to the development team behind the $90 million mixed-use community.
Construction that was scheduled to start this summer on the 74-unit The Broadstone Highlands now will begin in September or October, said Josh Rogers, Titan Development’s director of the multi-family division.
Rogers and Kurt Browning, Titan’s chief development officer, said building permits probably will be pulled with the city in early July, once removal crews work through the old infrastructure issues.
“There are aging water lines and a spaghetti-like network of utilities that no one knew existed,” which are being decommissioned and replaced, Browning said.

Same thing happened when Tucson was installing streetcar rail in downtown a few years ago...makes you wonder about government's and utilities' record-keeping.
