Utility Undergrounding Survey
The City of San Francisco is conducting a survey of public opinion on the undergrounding of utility lines in San Francisco. The original plan was to have all overhead lines put underground by 2007 or 2008, but they ran out of funding and there is no plan to continue the progression throughout the rest of the city for at least another 10 years.
They are currently conducting a survey on SFGov.org in order to understand how much the residents of San Francisco care about having the lines buried.
Like, are they willing to pay a few bucks per month on their PG&E bill to make this happen...
Click here for the survey.
For some, it's about the views, for others it's about the safety... For others it might not be worth the $5/month...

Does a survey even matter?
When does SF ever follow through with an original plan? On its intended timeline?
Half the things ever seriously proposed around here won't be completed before we are all dead (perhaps I have to consider the full "legacy" of decisions; but it would be gratifying to see results in our lifetimes).
For one example, how about the eastern span of the Bay Bridge?
On October 17, 1989 that thing was damaged - and when will the new one be ready? Probably 25 years after it needed replacing.
I know it depended on a lot of other factors (among them federal and state governments and other officals/politicos, etc.), but that just seems negligent to me.
