Commissioner reports resident complaints over broadband lines left on poles
Summary
Commissioner Mark E. Bolduc told the board residents complained that new broadband lines were placed on poles rather than buried; he said 'Chad' told him Idaho Power would not allow the wires on their poles and that the highway district and ITD opposed digging.
Commissioner Mark E. Bolduc reported resident complaints that broadband construction left wires on poles rather than placing them underground. Bolduc said he spoke with the construction overseer, identified only as 'Chad,' who told him, "Idaho Power wouldn’t allow the wires to be on their poles" and that the Idaho Transportation Department and the highway district did not want digging as an option.
Bolduc said he would have preferred advance notice so he could explain constraints to residents. The transcript does not record any direct response from the broadband contractor, the highway district, Idaho Power, or ITD in the meeting record.
