Since that time, PG&E and Comcast have completed their "cut-over" to the underground system. They have also removed the tops of the utility poles. The Town has resurfaced Paradise Drive, concluding its funded portion of this project. We have also been working with some of the utility companies to quiet noisy utility boxes. Many of these boxes were originally designed to be off the roadway, but various property owners objected to them being in front of their driveways or parking areas and requested that they be moved into the road. In this location the boxes are subjected to heavily-loaded vehicles, such as cement-mixers, that periodically rattle the lids loose. We will continue to coordinate with AT&T and PG&E on an on-going maintenance effort. AT&T is the last utility company to work on their cut-over to the new system. We have been in contact with AT&T on a continuous basis regarding their work schedule. Over the past six months, they have provided varying estimates for project completion. I previously reported to residents who inquired that AT&T anticipated starting their work by June with completion by August, 2008. They have since communicated a new estimate. By the time this update reaches you, AT&T will have started their work, which they now project will be completed by November, 2008, including the removal of all poles. We regret the delay in their work, but please understand that the Town does not have any authority to require AT&T to expedite their schedule. However, we will be checking with them at every opportunity. Please do not hesitate to call me or Nicholas Nguyen, our Director of Public Works, if you need further information on the project. We share the neighborhood's excitement about seeing this project finally completed. Thank you for your patience and cooperation throughout this long but worthwhile journey.
