Good news, that has been a long time coming: Supervisor Mark Farrell introduced a bill to allow for micro-trenching in SF.

For those who don't know, micro-trenching allows for deployment of cables, including those fibers for internet, in parts of the City where there are no overhead wires.
As a resident of the part of the Inner Sunset where utility lines are under-grounded, I am excited by the possibility about getting Sonic FTTH. Of course, nothing moves quickly, so I'm not holding my breath!
However, Dane -- is there an implementation plan in place to quickly start micro-trenching soon after approval by DPW? If so, how long would it take (probably not an easy question to answer!). Also, is there anything that SF residents can do to help move the process along?
