Work continues on removing overhead
wires and installing undergrounding
utility lines along the mile-long project from Cucamaca Street to Magnolia
Avenue.
SDG&E, Cox Cable and
AT&T are coordinating with property owners with the goal to complete the electrical
conversion work by November.
Once the underground utility system
is functioning, the overhead wires and wood power poles will be removed. This
is expected to take six to eight weeks.
After the wires and poles are
removed, workers will restore the disturbed areas with concrete and asphalt and
should be finished in two or three weeks.
Additional landscaping,
including shrubs and decorative rocks, will be installed after the undergrounded
utility lines are functioning. In the
meantime, the trees planted earlier this year are being hand watered.
