At least the author of the MT ordinance is talking with DPW about it now, with your context. Fingers crossed.

Any update on this? Is there some way of following along without pestering you capp662? And anything I (or my neighbors) can do to help?

It is an email chain. Here is the last update:


“Yes, I did escalate this to City Engineer’s attention earlier this month, who discussed it our leadership in the Bureau of Engineering. Mr. Ko will be back in office after July 30th and we plan on scheduling a meeting with Mr. Jasper and Sonic in early August. I’ll have our staff reach out to Sonic directly for that scheduling.”

Small update - SF DPW’s meeting with Sonic is scheduled for 9/4.

I pressed for an update and Dane responded:
Jason, we had a constructive meeting with a large group of DPW staff, and talked over the physical issues related to their road profiles. In particular, the asphalt over concrete structure, and the resulting impacts of that profile on microtrenching construction.

We have plans for a follow-up meeting involving a larger group from Sonic's plant engineering team to delve more deeply into the specifics of construction in this environment. SF DPW indicated they'd have further info for us on where various profiles exist, as well as some info on mill/overlay schedules. I'm hopeful that from that meeting we may be able to find initial opportunities where we can find a solution that'd work for Sonic as well as SF DPW.

-Dane Jasper
So grateful that Dane is actively engaged on this --- and educating the city agency. I sure hope this results in a workable solution for myself and others interested in modern Internet in San Francisco. I'm so fed up with paying 4x the cost for 8/100 the speed.

This is great. I'm hopeful as well. Dane or capp662 or anyone else, if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know!

I also live in San Francisco (Richmond District). Glad to do anything that would help.
