[Massplanners] Design Guidelines and Transformers

[Stephen Cary]

Good morning planfolks,

Have any communities drafted design guidelines relative to transformers along building frontage? We would like to balance aesthetic considerations and impacts on the pedestrian realm and storefront activation against the reality that achieving our goals for electrification and decarbonization is going to require a significant increase in transformers citywide in the coming years, both on private property and within public ROWs.

Any leads you might have would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
