What gives? I've been a customer for 14 years and waiting a long time.
Word from engineering team is that we have been denied in our application to attach to the existing poles on Marin Ave, and Buchanan to the West, as PG&E is currently in the process of undergrounding the utilities on that street. As a result, it is not possible to reach the overhead pole lines between Marin Ave and Solano Ave, with the exception of Talbot, Madison, and Adams, which each have a lead which crosses Solano.
We will continue to engage in advocacy on the issue of utility undergrounding in hopes that telecommunications can be included in those efforts in the future.
