BACKGROUND:
Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) is replacing an overhead service, installing an overhead transformer and secondary breakers. Due to the narrow road width of Francisco Way at the work site, PG&E has requested the road closure to perform the overhead utility work. There is insufficient road width to setup and operate boom trucks and safely maintain through traffic. This request was previously approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 9, 2025, and in Resolution No. 2025-293. 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 replacement.
