And so it goes...

Established in 1941, Piedmont Pines is one of Oakland’s oldest, most organized and productive homeowner’s associations.  We’re strong because our residents care.  They pitch in on beautification projects, keep one another informed to protect against crime, attend emergency preparedness training and drills, and the list goes on.

Phase 1& 2 Undergrounding Updates

Piedmont Pines’ undergrounding project is broken into three phases.  Here’s the status
PHASE 1:  Ascot corridor –Exciting progress!

  • PG&E’s largest-ever undergrounding project,   Broke ground October 2011. 
  • All Phase 1 trenches from private property to street:  DONE!
  • PG&E crews now trenching the main line, using three, and sometimes four crews. 
  • Phase 1 service will be fully converted to the undergrounded system by the end of 2014, with all poles removed and new street lights installed.

PHASE 2:  Chelton corridor

  • Discussions are underway with utilities and city.    The City and utilities are working out who will pay for city inspections and permits
  • The boundary map is is being vetted by PG&E to ensure accuracy.  Once the map is agreed to by all parties, costs for construction and new streetlights can be determined.
  • Once costs are known, the city will ballot property owners in this phase asking if they want to assess themselves for the cost they’d be responsible for.  The assessment covers city administration and new streetlights.  The utilities pay for construction, using utility undergrounding fees collected on utility bills across the state.

PHASE 3:  Castle corridor  --There won’t be a timeline for Phase 3 until Phase 2 is well under way
