Not sure if it’s the reason but citizens app showing manhole fire at Caldwell & 80th

So smart guy. How much would it cost to make all wires underground and who will pay .

It flickered. Can someone let the community boards know, as well as the elected? Will they call and sit down with ConEd? It's been ongoing

Which school does not have power?

It is beyond stupid that so many of our streets still have above ground wires.
