Upon project completion, these upgrades will increase both electric service capacity and system redundancy to ensure safe and more reliable electric service to our customers. Questions about this project can be directed to PSE&G’s Electric Utility Upgrade contact number: 1-800-901-5035.
So after all the controversy and emotions, PSE&G has decided to actually do the work the week of Christmas on Hope St. and Ridgeood Ave. Way to keep it classy PSE&G. Nothing quite says the holidays like cutting down trees and transforming a charming street into a right of way for high tension power lines. It just shows how tone deaf and sleazy this company really is.
Where was this schedule posted….. thanks.
Boyd, where did you find this schedule ???
Vegetation management is what you call the butchering of trees with no top or middle. This of course must be a joke.
Since the pole guys are here.. how about replacing the pole on North Monroe @ Valley View that’s about to fall over.
The half-assed repair *tying rope around the base* doesn’t quite cut it.
Dr. Fishbein sent it out to parents.

Reliability improvements. Vegetation management. Wish those marketing people were standing under a 90-foot pole with live wires on it.
