Moving Power Lines / Utility Poles - Chicago

[Eric Flanagan]

I am interested in buying what is now a one level commercial site, to build six condo units.

Currently in the alley next to the building there are about three utility poles up against the side of the property with a lot of wires. There is residential behind my site, but the utility poles move to the other side of the alley at that point, so it is less of an issue.

Do I have any options for having the poles moved and/or improving the situation in advance of building condos?
