With the numerous fallen trees pulling power lines down during the winter storms of January 2023, public safety has been a major concern. The number of wires stretching across major arteries like Pacific Street or hidden within tall trees in Monterey lead to real safety concerns, not only of live wires but blocked access to evacuation routes.
The Monterey Undergrounding committee has worked to investigate many ways the city could use to underground our utilities and increase safety, and we ask residents to respond to our survey to help us in communicating with the city about this. Please take a few minutes to read about these options and complete this important survey. Go to https://www.montereyundergrounding.net. Although we ask for your name and address to prevent duplication, your information will be kept private and only used collectively. If you want to take the survey again, only your last survey will be used.
