BACKGROUND:
Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) will be replacing a joint pole hard-set south of existing pole, installing a raptor perch, replacing down guys, transferring services, installing messenger guy, installing a streetlight and trimming overgrown tree/vines. Due to the narrow road width of McBryde Avenue at the work site, Pacific Gas & Electric Company has requested the road closure to complete this overhead work. There is insufficient road width to setup and operate boom trucks and safely maintain through traffic. Applicant shall follow guidelines set forth by the Public Works Department. This request was previously approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 9, 2025, and in Resolution No. 2025-295. The applicant has submitted a new request due to a revision in construction scheduling.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Applicant will be unable to close the road to complete planned utility work.
