This is not a city project but appears to be a telecommunications project possibly Frontier or Wow or Spectrum

We are forwarding to Engineering for comment - due to this not being a city project and we are unable to determine which agency is doing the work

CSR3 assigned this issue to Engineering 1

Yes thank you for the photo at 83rd avenue , 83rd has no barrels blocking the street , if they would remove the barrels at 89th street when they are not working and leave their work area the same as 83rd avenue they can return to work on it as needed just stop blocking our street when not working
Thank you

Previous comments say it is a telecommunications project. Attached is an image traveling southbound on 9th Street showing the barrels and lane closure marker. Surely the city of St Petersburg wouldn’t allow a third party to close the lane and place the marker without a permit? I can’t even make a home repair to the house I own without a permit! And for over six weeks with no notice work being done?

I agree! How does no one at the city not know about this?

Spoke to Frontier this morning, this project is to repair a damaged Frontier cable. Have a call out to the area construction manager to get a timeline for restoration and to verify permit information.

Thank you Very much. but in the meantime can they remove the barrels blocking traffic until they resume work. In the future

Frontier had permission to close a lane for the last six weeks even no work crew has been on-site? Suppose the timeline is another six weeks. Why can’t Frontier pick up the barrels and move the lane closure sign? I can imagine either the city or Frontier would be liable for an accident if they show the lane closure was unnecessary

Per Frontier, this emergency repair is in the final stages. Frontier crews will begin backfilling the ROW this Friday and normal traffic patterns will be restored by Sunday if not sooner. This includes the site at 83rd Ave as well.

Thanks for fixing this request!
